This can include main section studbook equines OR supplementary section studbook equines. Ponies must also have a studbook passport with a breed recorded to be eligible to compete and receive prize money. Horses and ponies with Identity Documents are not eligible to compete or obtain prize funds.
Breeders prizes will only be paid to breeders residing on the island of Ireland.
