Commenting on the sponsorship, Tattersalls Ireland CEO Simon Kerins said: “The Showing Pathway Series has become a real favourite on the show circuit throughout the summer months. The interest in the class has grown significantly, and the series has an ability to produce some wonderful stories. Last year we witnessed September Yearling Sale graduate Loaded and Alice Fitzgerald win at the Clonmel Agricultural Show. The series demonstrates how versatile and adaptable these thoroughbreds are, who once given the time and training from their skilled riders, forge second careers in the showing arena. “This is our third year to sponsor the Showing Pathway Series, and it’s great to support a series that generates positivity and showcases skills from both a human and equine perspective. We look forward to welcoming back some familiar names, and seeing new faces participating in the qualifiers.” Treo Eile Director and Co-Founder Caoimhe Doherty, added: “Treo Eile is once again delighted to partner with Tattersalls Ireland on the Showing Pathway Series. It has proven to be a fruitful series for many partnerships both those that are well established and those that are getting started on their retraining journey. We thank Tattersalls Ireland for their continued commitment to aftercare and look forward to joining them on this journey around the country this summer, in supporting our Treo Eile community.” For more details, visit www.treoeile.com.
