THE Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has rejected Horse Sport Ireland’s (HSI) request to allow the immediate resumption of all youth and non-elite competition, advising that those divisions must wait until Monday, June 7th.

HSI has reverted, seeking allowances for youth and amateurs athletes to participate at the international events in Mullingar (show jumping) and Millstreet (eventing), both held over the June bankholiday from June 3rd to 7th. They await response.
