Dublin Horse Show

August is the most important month for horse people in Ireland because of the great horse show!
I have been many show jumping international shows in Europe and i must say Dublin Horse Show is the most enjoyable show! There are so many things going on there.So many different classes for horses and ponies. (Not only show jumping classes.) People here is mad to qualify for this show.And It is hard to qualify! So I must say that you can find good horses here. Problem is those horses are not cheap of cause..
Anyway,many good riders traveled to Dublin this year because this is the final of Meydan FEI nations cups 2009. I went up there just for one day and really enjoyed to see good riders and good horses!
You can see all results on the link as follow.
