HOME-BRED success stories were the feature of this week’s Horse Sport Ireland (HSI) inspections, held at Cavan Equestrian Centre.

Wednesday saw the widest range of breed types put forward for the Irish Sport Horse, Irish Draught and Irish Sport Pony studbooks. The first approval at the 2018 selections was the latest addition to the latter studbook when Valerie Gateau’s smart Blaengwen Kato Star impressed the panel.
