The parade was initially postponed last weekend, with a re-scheduled parade expected to be announced in the past week.

However a spokesperson for Cavan EC said there would not be any parade this year but it would return in 2015 in a new format.

“Due to a full diary, Cavan Equestrian feel that rather than rescheduling and rushing to run the event, that a better decision would be to run at one of the larger show jumping events in March or April which would bring breeders and competition industry in one event more together,” she said.

“To make this a professional event naturally takes a lot of time and effort and unfortunately time constraints will not allow for this in 2014, therefore we look forward to putting a program together for 2015 that will be more appealing to all within the industry.”
