RDS Dublin Horse Show
RDS Dublin Horse Show is an iconic event that brings together the equestrian community, with a huge variety of classes and something for every enthusiast to enjoy. With both National and International showjumping classes - most of which are this year FREE to view on H&C+ (outside of Ireland) - there'll be plenty of action to enjoy, from Young Horse classes to the Rolex Grand Prix. To stream the Puissance and the Nations' Cup, subscribe to H&C+ now, or access them with an Event Pass (outside of Ireland only). If you're keen to watch more showjumping, remember our Jump Off Pass gives you access to all of our showjumping events!
Showing fans can admire some of the finest examples of their type in the Hunter Championships, with horses and ponies from Lightweight to Heavyweight coming forwards.
There's also entertainment for all the family to enjoy, including Santi Serra, horse-drawn vehicles, and various Parades.
