On the Friday/Saturday 10/11th January 2020 we’re hosting a guided tour of some of the incredible technologies that are now deployed here in Ireland (“Land of the Horse” and “Home of the Thoroughbred”) that you’ll have read about in the HorseTech Market Report.

If a visit to Ireland has been on your bucket list this is an unmissable opportunity as we’ll also be touring a selection of the leading breeders as the tour will give you the chance to meet the world’s top horse technologists and trainers and will also include visits to breeders who are opening their doors for the Irish Stallion Trail organised by  Irish Thoroughbred Marketing (this can be attended completely independently of our tour group – click here for more details/registration).

There is no charge to join us on the tour thanks to generous sponsorship from Waterdiam for Equine (you can read about their enhanced Water 3.0 in the ‘Water’ chapter of the Market Report and meet with horses that are drinking and being washed with it on the tour) and T.A. Sciences (developer of TA-65^® the patented, all natural, plant-based compound which can help maintain or rebuild telomeres, that diminish as horses get older) but space is strictly limited so please apply as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. (Schedule is still being finalised and will be posted here in an update that you’ll be able to view by refreshing the page):
