HORSE Sport Ireland (HSI) has announced changes to how its Board of Directors will be chosen, with a route loosely based on the former advisory council system, but with the added tier of an independent selection panel.

The chairpersons of all affiliates were invited to a briefing on ‘finalised governance changes’ on Tuesday of this week, however Showjumping Ireland, Eventing Ireland, Para Equestrian Ireland, the Army Equitation School, the Irish Horse Board, Dressage Ireland, ECVOA and the RDS were unable to attend given the invitation only went out the Thursday prior.
