THROUGHOUT the weekend, HSI had its mobile unit at the AIRC Festival, manned by Michelle O’Reilly and Nicola Corcoran, who both work in the registrations department. They presented the championship sashes, rosettes and prizes in the Horse Sport Ireland and the Irish Sport Horse Studbook showing section.

Always wearing her HSI gilet, but working as a volunteer in the showing tent for the two days, was Donna Craig of the passport department. She took a few scant minutes out of a busy Sunday to chat to partner Robert Ryan and their 22-month-old daughter Ellen as they paid a visit to the festival.
