To inform breeders of the need to keep up and increase the traditional Irish horse herd, we the T I H A are conducting a roadshow commencing at 7.30pm on Wednesday 27th of February in the Lord Bagenal, Leighlinbridge, Co. Carlow. Speakers include Dr Emmeline Hill, U.C.D.

The UCD speaker will be backed up by the one and only Sam Watson. Riding his superhorse Horseware Ardagh Highlight (ISH)(TIH) whereby he won a silver medal for Ireland at the recent World Equestrian Games in America.
On Wednesday 6th of March 7.30PM the show rolls on to the Cavan Crystal hotel to hear words of wisdom from the renowned William Micklem. He is both an entertainer and an authority. As a coach, his understanding of horses mannerisms and riders frailty is immortalised in his design of the Micklem bridal. He will be accompanied by Victoria Teuton who has produced and ridden National and Balmoral champions and coached riders. His second accomplice is Simone Hirshin. Simone is a dressage rider and coach. She is riding T I H horses to Grand Prix level. Their contribution will be concluded by Dr. Alan Fahey, Associate Professor from UCD.

The finale on Thursday 21st March 8.00PM at the Springfort Hall Hotel, Mallow will end with an in-depth discussion on the T I H broodmare herd by the author of the RDS book of "a profile of Ireland's elite T I H mares” Marcus O Donnell.

Select TIHA Hunter Show and Go sale a great success
The 5th TIHA Hunter Show and Go sale which took place at Mullingar Equestrian Centre showcased a fine selection of well-produced Traditional bred Irish Hunters.
Commenting on the day, Olive Broderick said "Following on the Traditional Irish Horse debate I was at the TIHA select hunter sale yesterday in Mullingar Equestrian.
I have to say I was really impressed with the sale, beautiful facilities to show and try the horses, the professional turn out and production by all the vendors.
The horses for sale were a mix of Irish Draught, TB and Connemara.
Interestingly almost all vet certs were 100% clean.
There was great demand for a good stamp of an Irish hunter, with prices very strong for almost all.
If the horse went well, was honest and straightforward (trademark Irish horse!) and forgiving of rider error there was any amount of buyers at good money.
I think the top lot was sold for €14,000
My point is that most of these horses were a long way from a GP jumper, yet the owners who produced them well for a specific job (and mostly by rider owners) kept costs low, enjoyed the production and have a great market through this sale.
I think we all know this fact, and it’s very positive for the traditional Breeders.
Well done to the traditional association."
