Ireland · 2026 Season
Shop · Show · Importin Ireland
A buying-focused show experience for riders who want the opportunity to ride, train, and compete with a horse in Ireland before deciding whether to import it.
The 2026 Ireland trips are designed for riders who want to compete abroad without the expense and logistics of shipping their own horse overseas. Riders are matched with suitable show lease horses based on their level, goals, experience, and riding style — with coaching and support throughout.
The Concept
Not Just a Show Trip
All horses available to show are also available for purchase. This gives riders the rare opportunity to sit on, train with, and actually show a horse before deciding whether to import it.
*For riders interested in the show experience only, a very limited number of show lease spots may be available. Priority will be given to riders who are open to purchasing their show lease horse if the right match is found.
01
Ride before you buy
Sit on, feel, and train with the horse before any purchase decision.
02
Compete in Ireland
Show at premier Irish venues with full coaching and support.
03
Import your show lease horse
If it's the right fit, take your show partner home.
