Millstreet Intl Horse Show
Celebrating 50 years of equestrianism in Millstreet
Celebrating 50 years of equestrianism in Millstreet
Millstreet is celebrating 50 years of hosting equestrian events this year. It is a monumental occasion of which we are very proud. In that time, we have welcomed to Co. Cork a myriad of International Horse Shows, World Cup Qualifying Events, multiple FEI European Championships for Ponies, Juniors and Young Riders in Jumping, Eventing and Dressage, as well as numerous National Horse Shows and Charity Shows for horses and ponies. Since developing the Drishane cross country track in 2014, we have proceeded to host a range of integral International Eventing fixtures including test events and qualifiers for the Olympic Games, the Irish leg of the FEI Eventing Nations Cup on two occasions and the only Irish stage of the acclaimed Event Rider Masters series.Irish horses and riders continue to reach new levels on the world stages of show-jumping, eventing and horse-racing. Over the past half a century, Millstreet has maintained its foundation role in the development of young horses, riders, officials and the ongoing ability of the sport to reach new audiences through public attendance, broadcast and live-streaming. A growing list of Olympians, Flat/National Hunt Jockeys and European Championship medallists have benefitted from competition experience in the Green Glens Arena while young horse development competitions such as the ‘Young Irelander (3yo),’ ‘National Discovery (4yo)’ and ‘Boomerang (6/7yo)’ are renowned for the graduates that progress through the ranks each year.There is no other venue in the country which can match such a record and to mark the 50th anniversary of equestrianism in Millstreet, the Duggan Family is very happy to announce a bonanza Millstreet Horse Show running from August 16th to 20th featuring:
- €180,000+ Total Prize Fund

The 2021 Millstreet International Horse Show CSI2* will not take place
“It is with great disappointment that the Duggan Family announces today that the 2021 Millstreet International Horse Show CSI2* will not take place. Despite the pace of the vaccination rollout in Ireland and the resulting reduction in current infection rates, it is clear that the easing of lockdown measures will not proceed at a pace that will allow us to stage the August show to its traditional standards while complying with the current Government guidelines.
The fundamental principle of Millstreet’s long running success is the inclusivity it offers to one and all. The annual schedule of classes provides opportunities for horses/ponies and riders of all levels, ages and abilities.
We take our industry support responsibilities very seriously; events such as the Foal Auction, 3yo Horse and Pony Young Irelander, 4yo National Discovery Championships also for both horses and ponies, and many other unique Millstreet concepts contribute incalculably to Irish horse and pony breeders and producers. To stage a show without one or more of these elements or limiting participation would go against our “open door” values.” [read the full announcement on Millstreet.Horse]

Having seen the extraordinary level of talent at our recent Pony (2014) and Junior/Young Rider (2016) European Championships, I’m looking forward to seeing what senior riders make of the Mike Etherington-Smith designed Cross Country track and the unique Irish welcome we offer to all visitors.” – read the full article on Millstreet.horse

In Pictures: Dressage and Cross Country at the European Championships
At the 2017 FEI European Junior and Young Rider Championships, Dressage took centre stage on thursday. While Thursday was a fine day, Friday had shocking weather, so some had to compete in the downpours. Thankfully the rain cleared Friday night, and the sun shone for Saturday’s Cross Country in Drishane, with the rain helping to make ground conditions excellent. There were a number of fallers, but no serious injuries, only bumps and bruises.
below are some photos and videos from the last few days, but be patient as it may be slow to load due to so many photos: [read more …] “In Pictures: Dressage and Cross Country at the European Championships”
In Pictures: The Parade of Nations through Millstreet
After Wednesday morning’s rain, Noel C. got onto the man above and asked for sunshine for the evening, and as is normal he duly obliged. Just in time, the clouds parted and suddenly we had a lovely sunny evening for what has now become a tradition – the Parade of Nations through Millstreet, bringing a slice of colour and fun to town.
Led by the Millstreet Pipe Band the sixteen nations dressed in their finery and national colours, paraded up through the town, and back down to the Green Glens where the official opening of the Championships took place, followed by a concert and entertainment.
A big bualadh bos to all that helped organise, and participated in what was another lovely event.
