The show has long been recognised as a springboard for athletes progressing to the highest levels of international competition and numerous success stories have emerged from the show in recent years.
The show also offers a platform for Ireland’s top pony riders to showcase their talents through the popular Mullingar ‘Pony Masters’, sponsored by Showjumping Ireland and Ballynegall Feeds.
Mullingar International Show provides a significant economic benefit to the local economy. It attracts approximately 10,000 visitors to the area over the two weeks and they support hotels, restaurants, and businesses in the town, generating an estimated €1 million for the area.
