The equestrian sector is a vital economic resource for Ireland, with breeding being one of its most significant components. To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on this industry, Horse Sport Ireland conducted a concise study highlighting key challenges and proposing urgent government interventions based on feedback from industry professionals.

The seven-page report includes detailed graphs and data covering employment, equestrian centers, and horse management, offering a comprehensive overview of the sector’s current state. The study serves as an important resource for understanding the pandemic’s effects and guiding recovery efforts within Ireland’s equestrian community.
