Challenges facing the Horse Sport Industry: Discussion

Mr. Niki Potterton:

We probably received, through breeding grants, €8,000 to €10,000 from Horse Sport Ireland for running classes. Within events, they run a four-year-old class and a five-year-old one. We receive some funding, but not masses of it. That only goes to Irish bred four and five, or six, year old horses. It does not go towards the high performance programme.
