Busy Time for Irish Equestrian Sports!

These next two weeks are surely the most exciting for any equestrian enthusiast in Ireland. The Galway Races (July 27th - August 2nd) kicked off yesterday at Ballybrit and launched Galway City into into its busiest week of the year. And next week we have the Dublin Horse Show (August 5th - 9th) in the RDS. This year I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to go to both so I'm hitting the road for Galway tomorrow morning to make the first race of the day at 1.50pm (tomorrow's feature race is the William Hill Galway Plate and 4.25pm).

Then next week we're offered a few day's grace after the last race of the festival in Galway until the doors of the RDS open at 9am on Wednesday morning. If you're planning on coming along over the course of the 5-day show be sure to drop by the Discover Ireland stand (D1) right inside the entrance to the Main Hall of the RDS. With food tasting, demonstrations, live music face-painting and much more happening each its the right place to start your Horse Show journey! And we have a competition running each day on the stand to win one of 5 activity breaks around Ireland. Enjoy the show!
