Since its launch in 2021, Treo Eile has remained dedicated to its core mission: to connect, support, and promote the retraining of racehorses. In recent years, there has been a notable and steady increase in the number of Thoroughbreds participating in Riding Club events, reflecting the growing interest in retraining and the versatility of the breed.

This weekend at the AIRC Riding Clubs Festival, Treo Eile is sponsoring awards for the highest-placed Thoroughbred in the Open Performance Hunter classes, recognising the achievements of Thoroughbreds and their riders competing at one of the Association’s flagship events.

The partnership will culminate in the AIRC Thoroughbred Aftercare Awards, presented at the Treo Eile Christmas Show, celebrating the achievements of standout Thoroughbreds and their riders over the course of the season.

Treo Eile’s total sponsorship contribution for 2026 will amount to €2,100, reinforcing its ongoing support for Thoroughbred aftercare and retraining initiatives within the Riding Club community.
