The 600 acres of grassland at Stradbally allow the AIRC to run several showing, show jumping and dressage arenas simultaneously throughout the weekend.

The TRI Equestrian Team show jumping challenge is always a hotly contested class. The challenge, where teams of four riders take on a course of fences, always draw a crowd and if the result needs to be decided by a jump-off, spectators will see some speed and determination in action.
