Dublin Horse Show is the annual occasion when Irish equestrians come together for their country’s celebration of the horse.
The five-day show attracts top showjumpers from around the world, with those selected to carry their nation’s pride competing in Dublin’s famous Nations Cup for the Aga Khan trophy. You will not hear a louder roar anywhere if the hosts win! The puissance and grand prix classes are also highly competitive.
The event acts as a showcase for Irish horse breeding and hosts many prestigious showing classes for Irish Draughts, Irish Sport Horses and Connemara ponies.
The atmosphere of the show, which takes place in the heart of Dublin city, is full of Irish craic, making it an extremely enjoyable and fun event for horse fans. If you enjoy watching horse sport, it is definitely one to put on your bucket list.
