CAITRIONA Murphy is leaving her editor’s role after almost three years at the helm of Irish Horse World, a very busy period in which The Irish Field embraced the digital platform via the revamped website www.theirishfield.ie and The Irish Field news app. Under her tenure, Irish Horse World’s biggest stories included the Cruising clones, Bertram Allen’s meteoric rise to the world top-10, the Rio 2016 Olympics and MHS Going Global being sold in a huge deal to billionaire Athina Onassis.

Caitriona, a former winner of the Agricultural Journalist of the Year in 2013 while working with the Farming Independent, is moving to our sister paper, Irish Farmers Journal, as deputy news editor with immediate effect.
