HORSEPEOPLE are forever dreaming and searching for their next stable star and in that respect this week, Horse Sport Ireland is no different, outlining in their advertisement for a new chief executive officer a wish-list of the attributes the successful candidate will hopefully bring to what is a challenging but vital role for the future development of the €700m Irish Sport Horse industry.

It’s good to see the advertisement for the new CEO being placed (see A78) and with an application deadline of March 24th next, that deadline comes several weeks after the expected completion of the Indecon review of Horse Sport Ireland and its structures. The Indecon review, commissioned by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, is expected by the end of February.
