The TIHA would like to acknowledge all the work and contributions that have assisted the Association. Your support collaboration and areas of expertise have assisted us greatly and as we move forward we hope you will move with us and continue with us and build upon our vision for the Traditional Irish Horse. It is worthwhile to note that the Equestrian Industry worldwide is changing all the time. We are not an association that lives in the past but an association who recognises the real long-term prospects for the TIH. The TIHA is moving forward and our TIH is a product for the future with a proven reputation and golden legacy. The foundation is in place we are now ready to rebuild.
