World Champion Testimonials:
Aoife Kirby: "The Young Breeders Programme has been a brilliant way to make friends. I also have a much better understanding of conformation and athleticism traits and how to assess them. It has been hard work and demanded a lot of commitment from everyone but being part of such amazing competition and doing so well (National and World Championships) has made it all worthwhile. I've enjoyed every minute of it."
Edward Hennessy: "Young Breeder training has taught me so much about horsemanship. It was incredible to represent the ISH Studbook at World Championships and even more incredible to be part of a World Championship winning team. The camaraderie was special and a significant contribution to our success."
Annie Madden: "I had an amazing experience at the World Championships and met people from all around the world. The training over the last few months has been excellent. I am really looking forward to using everything I have learned in real life."
Colin Doyle: "I've enjoyed meeting so many other people around my own age interested in horses and breeding. My confidence has grown and all the fantastic trainers have helped me learn so much."
