JUMPING In The City, which was announced in Dublin this morning (Wednesday), is a radical new initiative to bring show jumping into greyhound stadia in cities during the summer.

Launched at Shelbourne Park Greyhound Stadium by Simon Coveney TD, Minister for Agriculture, Food, the Marine and Defence, Jumping In The City will take place in greyhound stadia in Limerick, Corkand Dublin on Friday nights during the month of June. It hopes to attract not just show jumping fans but also people looking for an alternative experience on their Friday night out.
