A galaxy of racing’s stars are set to take part in the Treo Eile Christmas Show at the Emerald Equestrian Centre on Thursday, December 12. 

Oisin Murphy, Colin Keane, Davy Russell, Barry Geraghty, Nina Carberry, Robbie Power and more will be on show in the popular event.

The Horse Racing Ireland Treo Eile Thoroughbred Classic is the feature class on the night and is a team competition to showcase the very best of Ireland’s retrained racehorses. 

Teams of four will compete in a timed competition. Captained by a jockey, each team will have a professional and amateur rider, who will all ride former racehorses. The fourth team member will be a talented pony rider.  

Each rider will jump a course of fences followed by a jump-off to decide the winners of the coveted Horse Racing Ireland Perpetual Trophy.

Hosted by Racing TV’s Kevin O’Ryan and Brendan McArdle of The Irish Field, the Christmas show will begin at 12 noon. Household names Tiger Roll, Al Boum Photo, A Plus Tard and General Principle will also be on show in the Moyglare Stud Parade of Champions.

Co-Founder of Treo Eile, Caoimhe Doherty, said, “The Treo Eile Christmas Show is the pinnacle of our year. It is a wonderful event full of fun, friends and most importantly, celebrating the ex-racehorse and showcasing their abilities in a second career. It is such a pleasure to bring together so many different sectors of the equestrian community – racing, showjumping, and eventing, all for the good of the horse. We are excited for what will be our fourth annual show and hope to see friends new and old in Emerald Equestrian Centre on Thursday December 12.”
