Horses are “worth over a billion to the economy now”, according to the Dublin Horse Show Director ahead of its 148th event.
, Pat Hanley said next week’s Dublin Horse Show will focus on “showjumping and the Irish horse industry”.“The Horse Show was set up to develop the horse industry in Ireland and that was very important 140 years ago when the whole economy was all dependent on horses,” he said.
“I think in that old saying ‘the horse is the mirror of your soul’ - we'll understand a lot more why that is the case over the next decade.”Starting on Wednesday, the Dublin Horse Show in the RDS is expected to attract 120,000 over five days, with more than 1,600 horses and ponies competing. “Also, in terms of the Dublin City Development Plan, they pointed out very specifically the importance of the RDS site.”“We have over 350 stands that come in from all over Europe and indeed our own stands in Ireland,” he said.
