The Army Equitation School is a cornerstone of Irish show jumping that is firmly intertwined in the history of the sport in this country. Playing a massive role in the production of Irish talent, both horses and riders, since its foundation in 1926, one of its stated objectives is “to maintain a standard of excellence in equitation, stable management, training and coaching”.

This objective has certainly been achieved, with Army riders having represented Ireland on a world stage competing at Olympic, World and European Championship level in show jumping and eventing.
