MERVUE Equine has announced its continued sponsorship of the prestigious Broodmare Futurity class at the 2025 Dublin Horse Show. Following a successful first year of a three-year sponsorship, Mervue Equine reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the future of Irish sport horse breeding and performance.

The Broodmare Futurity class, first introduced by the RDS in 2010, plays a vital role in identifying and promoting Ireland’s most promising young mares. Selected from the three, four, five and six-year-old national show jumping classes, these mares represent the foundation of future equine success both in Ireland and on the international stage.

Mervue Equine has long been dedicated to advancing equine health and performance through science-led nutrition and supporting this class aligns well with the company’s mission to help breeders and producers unlock the full potential of Ireland’s talented mares

“We are honoured to continue sponsoring the Broodmare Futurity class for a second year,” said Ciara Watt, Head of Mervue Equine. “This initiative is critical to recognising superior genetics and strong dam lines, which are essential for producing Ireland’s next generation of show jumping stars. Our products are designed to support mares and young horses at every stage, and we are excited to contribute to this vital breeding programme.”

The Broodmare Futurity final, held on Sunday, August 10th, the closing day of the show, features eight mares - two from each age category - competing in an in-hand format. A total prize fund of €6,750 is on offer, with €3,000 awarded to the winning mare.

Mervue Equine will also have a stand in the Simmonscourt Area, (S110), where it will showcase its comprehensive range of equine nutritional products developed to maximise health and performance. Visitors will have the opportunity to avail of Dublin Hose Show offers, speak to nutritional experts and maybe even catch a glimpse of some of Mervue’s Equine brand ambassadors that will be dropping by the stand.
