EQUIPEOPLE, the leading agricultural and equine work experience agency in Europe, has announced that it will renew its sponsorship of the Association of Irish Riding Clubs National Eventing Championships for the sixth year in a row.

The highly-anticipated championships will take place on Sunday, September 13th at Killossery Lodge in Dublin. The event promises a full day of competition, catering for riders of all levels, with classes ranging from 80cm to 110cm. The schedule will also include a young horse division for four and five-year-olds, a team championship and a combined training competition for RC70 riders.

Equipeople is the largest agricultural and equestrian internship organisation in Europe. They provide work experience placements to about 800 European agricultural and horse students each year and look after approximately 35 tours for US university students, European colleges, and teacher groups. They are based outside Portarlington with a full-time staff of nine people.

Caroline Lane, Managing Director of Equipeople, said: “Equipeople is happy to once again support the AIRC eventing championships. Every day life can be stressful, and spending time with friends and horses is a much-needed respite from our busy lives.

“The Riding Club movement brings people from all walks of life together and Equipeople is delighted to be a part of that.”

Their continued partnership with the AIRC highlights Equipeople’s commitment to supporting grassroots equestrian sport and fostering opportunities within the agricultural and equine sectors.
