Mr. Mark Flanagan:

There is an Irish breeding line. Obviously, people have their own mares and they go back a long time. There is an Irish breeding line. There are two types of trotting horses. There is the trotter, which is European, and the pacer, which is American. You will find trotters in America as well. It is 80% pacers in America and 20% trotters. In Europe, it is 100% trotters. There are no pacers. One of the reasons the sport did not grow is that we are too aligned to America, and we did not have a product that we were able to sell to our European counterparts. Having realised that, we have changed that and started breeding trotters. Equally, we breed pacers as well.
