THE RDS National Championships will boast a prize fund of €167,000 when it runs over five days at the Ballsbridge venue from August 18th to 22nd, in place of the traditional five-star Dublin Horse Show, which was cancelled earlier this month for a second year due to the uncertainty around Covid-19.

Dates for qualifiers across all disciplines were announced this week and begin as early as next Wednesday, while it was confirmed by the RDS that all finals will take place in the main arena.
