Our Journey
8 years have taken us from the Royal Vet College in London to the Dubai Horse Fair, Europe’s biggest BreezeUp Sale and the Breeders Cup in San Diego.
The great news is that we live-streamed and video recorded every presentation so you can now replay and freely share them all with your networks:

Sponsored by the Irish Department of Agriculture the meeting featured a keynote from Shamus Kennedy the new CTO of Horseracing Ireland.
