THE Irish Donkey Society (IDS) will stage a spectacular display of donkeys and donkey farming equipment and carriages at work and at play in Ring 1 of the RDS showgrounds on the final day of the Dublin Horse Show on Sunday, August 11th from 3.45pm to 4.25 pm this year.

Members of the IDS will thrill and delight the crowd with an exhibition of 20 donkeys/mules and foals on lead rein, being ridden and with various old antique farming equipment and donkey-drawn carriages showing how this loveable and sociable animal used to be the poor man’s horse in years gone by.
