The 2017 GAIN Equine Nutrition and Alltech Equine Summit, supported by Grant Thornton and The Irish Field will take place on 9 November, 2017 in the Keadeen Hotel, Newbridge, Co Kildare.

The 2017 Equine Summit will bring together the thoroughbred and sport horse sectors of the industry in a day-long series of presentations and discussions with equine experts and industry leaders.

A plenary discussion on the equine industry in Ireland will form the central part of the day. This will be chaired by Leo Powell, editor of The Irish Field and feature Brian Kavanagh, CEO of Horse Racing Ireland; Ronan Murphy, CEO of Horse Sport Ireland; Noel Cawley, Chairman of Teagasc and Meta Osborne, Senior Steward of The Turf Club.

Attendees will then have the opportunity to attend a break out session to explore topics more specific to the thoroughbred or sport horse sides of the equine industry. Founder and President of Alltech, Dr. Pearse Lyons, commented: “Ever since Alltech sponsored the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games 2010 in Kentucky, I have been curious about what the Irish equine industry could do and I hope the Equine Summit will address new opportunities for this industry.”
