Meath Visit Army Equitation School June 2006 Enhancing the Breeding Herd The Equitation School Horse Purchase & Lease Scheme allows for the return of mares to their owners on the termination of the mare’s competitive career. This enables the owner to breed from an Irish bred mare that has a proven competitive record. This type of broodmare has been identified as the most desirable for breeding high performance sport horses. This activity contributes to enhancing the quality of the National Herd. Independent Centre of Excellence The Equitation School is identified within the Sport Horse Industry as an independent body and a centre of excellence which provides support to policy and strategic development of the National Governing Body (H.S.I). Public Relations agent for the Nation, the Defence Forces and the Irish Sport Horse Industry Army riders competing on Irish Bred horses provide an instantly recognisable symbol of Ireland and the Defence Forces. The Equitation School advertises a positive image of the Defence Forces and the sport horse industry to the public. In carrying out the various activities outlined above, the Equitation School exposes a large section of society to the positive image of the Defence Forces. The Army Equitation School competes only on Irish Bred Sport Horses, thereby providing the exclusive “shop window” for the Irish Sport Horse Breeder. 8
