  • Future Breeding Horse Starting Scheme Application 2025

    Horse Sport Ireland are delighted to re-launch the starting (breaking) scheme for owners of future breeding performance sport horses including fillies, young mares, and stallions. This scheme is funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine (DAFM) by National Breeding Services. In 2025 the scheme will be split into three distinct categories - a starting (breaking) scheme and two schooling levels. Continuity will be allowed across the schemes, but not in the same year. The aim of this initiative is to incentivise Irish breeders to produce future breeding horses through a designated training pathway. This adds value to these young horses while providing information to their owners regarding their positive and negative traits, and aids breeders with informed decision making. Successful applicants are eligible to receive up to €1,000 in receipted training and associated expenses over a 6-week period pending compliance with the relevant conditions.
