Mullingar entries

MULLINGAR International Show will be using the equipe app to allow riders and spectators view startlists and results live via their mobile phones.

This year all entries for the show, national and international, will be pre-entry.

The app will also promote the horse’s breeding. It can be downloaded free of charge via a smartphone or accessible on www.equipe.com.

National class entries will be taken online on the SJI website and international entries on www.mullingarequestrian.com.

Due to a change in FEI rules, there is no longer an invitational system. All riders are welcome to compete at the CSI2* classes.
