THE second Kildare Performance Hunter Show will take place at Punchestown racecourse, in Co Kildare, on Saturday, March 11th. Organised by the Kildare Hunt Club, the show’s purpose is to find Ireland’s finest hunting horses. This year’s entry was full within two hours of opening, with over 90 riders signing up from 30 hunts across Ireland and Britain - a testament to the success of last year’s show.

The show consists of three classes, hunter, side saddle and huntsman.
