THE Indecon Report and internet are proving to be game changers in the lead-up to the issuing of the Irish Sport Horse and Irish Draught studbook licences. Both licences are due for renewal in July by the issuing authority, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM).

Horse Sport Ireland (HSI) currently hold the Sport Horse and Irish Draught studbook licences, previously granted by the Department on July 1st 2016. In the meantime, the release of the Indecon Report may have an impact on any HSI plan to retain the licences.
