HORSE Sport Ireland announced the launch of both the 2026 DAFM Studbook Series for Show Jumping and the 2026 DAFM Eventing Development Series this week. The former boasts a prize fund of €90,000, which will be awarded to the winners and winning breeders of the five, six and seven-year-old sections across each leg and on a league basis, while all entry fees remain with the host venues.

This ensures that the initiative also supports the venues in their ongoing growth and development. Grooms’ prizes will be awarded in each class and the leading young riders will be recognised, as in previous years.
