THE 2026 Stepping Stones to Success series got under way on Tuesday at Wexford Equestrian Centre, where league points won’t be on offer until week three, but where there will be an added incentive for producers of four and five-year-old horses to qualify for the final at the end of the month.

At the Tomhaggard venue on Tuesday, April 28th, Goresbridge Sport Horse Sales will award two wildcard entries to their inaugural Copper Beach Sale of four and five-year-old eventers and show jumpers, which is to take place at their sales complex on Monday, May 25th. Selection days for the sale were held on Wednesday and Thursday this week.
