A SLIGHT change to the four-year-old class at this year’s Dublin Horse Show sees just 24 combinations battle it out in the Simmonscourt arena, down from last year’s 28.

The Mo Chroi four-year-old final on Saturday always attracts a big crowd and this year’s qualifying judges – Jorn Kusel, a representative of the Hanoverian Society, Marcel Beukers from the Dutch KWPN and Thomas Schonig - selected horses with quality and proven performance bloodlines.
