I would still love to see the scenario where an Irish team will go out riding all Irish-bred horses. That is probably not that feasible in the modern, commercial world. One of the first non-Irish horses that jumped for us internationally was Boomerang. It created a right stir at the time that we had a non Irish-bred horse jumping. He jumped successfully for us. There is a big breeding establishment near me putting huge resources, and what I suppose you would call technology, into breeding the right horse and producing the right stallions. You would love to see that coming through in the horses jumping internationally. I have a question on the registration of horses, although the organisation may have no remit in the area. How many horses are not in compliance with registration?
