Oisin Murphy, Colin Keane, Davy Russell, Barry Geraghty, Nina Carberry, Robbie Power and Paul Townend are just some of the stars from the past and present taking part in this year’s Treo Eile Christmas show at Emerald Equestrian Centre near Enfield on Thursday December 12.
The Horse Racing Ireland Treo Eile Thoroughbred Classic is the feature event where teams comprising professional and amateur jockeys along with young pony riders will compete in a timed competition.
The Moyglare Stud Parade of Champions is another major attraction and will include household names such as Tiger Roll, Al Boum Photo and A Plus Tard.
Co-Founder of Treo Eile, Caoimhe Doherty, said: “The Treo Eile Christmas Show is the pinnacle of our year. It is a wonderful event full of fun, friends and most importantly, celebrating the ex-racehorse and showcasing their abilities in a second career.
“It is such a pleasure to bring together so many different sectors of the equestrian community - racing, showjumping, and eventing, all for the good of the horse. We are excited for what will be our fourth annual show and hope to see friends new and old in Emerald Equestrian Centre on Thursday December 12.”
Tickets cost €15 per person, family ticket (two adults, two children) for €40, with groups of 10 for €100 and can be bought online at itsplainsailing.com/org/te
Treo Eile (Irish for ‘another direction’) was founded in 2020 with the aims to assist breeders, owners, and trainers in transitioning both raced and unraced thoroughbreds to a second career.
