THE Warmblood Studbook of Ireland (WSI) announced a new growth strategy which it claims will put breeders back an the centre of the show jumping industry and re-focus show jumping breeding in Ireland.

In a statement, WSI said the new strategy would support Irish breeders through nationwide mare inspections, further develop the studbook’s stallion approval system, create a semen bank open to all mares sired by an approved stallion and change studbook rules to allow all mares sired by an approved stallion to breed within the studbook.
