ON the eve of Friday’s Aga Khan Nations Cup at the RDS, Horse Sport Ireland hosted an owners reception at the InterContinental Hotel in Dublin to recognise the huge role played by owners in supporting the Irish show jumping team and also honoured three former chefs d’equipe.

The evening began with Horse Sport Ireland international marketing director Elaine Hatton welcoming guests and thanking Irish show jumping team sponsors Devenish and The Underwriting Exchange and new Team Ireland clothing sponsor Equiline for their huge support.
