With 30 days to go before the 2016 Fernhill Sport Horses Kilguilkey International Horse Trials get underway, preparations are gathering pace at the Co. Cork venue.

Taking place on the 2nd and 3rd July, organisers Danny and Michelle Dulohery have upgraded the event to CIC3* level and course designer Mike Etherington-Smith (GBR) has promised flowing tracks that will be built up to height and provide the perfect stepping stone towards CCI level.

Now in its fourth year, Carol Gee’s ‘Fernhill Sport Horses’ continues to support the event through their title sponsorship and with queries from the UK, Europe and further afield, the 2016 edition looks set to be a truly international affair. This year also sees Haygain® come on board, sponsoring the CIC3* class. The UK-based company manufactures hay steamers which are distributed in Ireland by Cullen Equine Solutions and will be exhibiting their product range during the event.

Entries can be made through the Eventing Ireland website before 20th June. The provisional timetable and further information is available on www.kilguilkeyhouse.com.
