Headlining the much-anticipated day is former world champion Jos Lansink, Hickstead Derby winner Trevor Breen and international buyer Enda Carroll.

The day-long hedge school is entitled Gallop Towards Olympic Success.

Particularly interesting for Irish breeders should be the contribution from both Lansink and Carroll of Ashford Farm in Belgium, who will both give their advice on buying horses for the international market.

Trevor Breen will talk about training young horses and riders. Breeder Luc Henry, who owns Liscalgot and is still breeding from her, will gives his views on breeding the modern show jumper.

There will be lots more practical, veterinary and related advice on the day from a range of professionals and those that attended last year’s inaugural hedge school will know that the frank and open discussions that took place shaped many decisions in the months following.

Entry to the Showjumpers Club Equine Hedge School, supported by Connolly’s Red Mills costs €50 per person, including lunch.
