IT’s Christmas week and what a year we have all had in Irish Horse World, one of the most successful years on record for Irish equestrian sport – in all disciplines – as we head into an Olympic year with an unprecedented three teams qualified in Eventing, Dressage and Show Jumping for Tokyo 2020. We look forward to bringing you all the action as it unfolds.

This week we feature the story of brave Katelyn Reilly (5) who tragically lost her fight to leukaemia. Nothing gave this little girl joy like riding her beloved pony, Trevor, around Cavan Equestrian Centre’s lead rein course.
