DESPITE changes in the height restrictions in the Gain/Alltech Grand Prix league, the series will no doubt prove popular with riders moving up the ranks as this year it will also incorporate the Gain/Alltech 1.20m class.

The overall winner of the league will receive €750 and the runner-up €250. It is envisaged that this will increase the attendance and thus support venues/shows who are hosting each leg.

Now in its sixth year, the Gain/Alltech Autumn Grand Prix Series will see eight legs take place in venues throughout the country, starting in Cavan Equestrian Centre on September 25th, with the finale concluding at the Cavan Indoor International Horse Show CSI* on Friday evening, November 4th.
