A big thank you to all who entered the Virtual Kilmacanogue Show.  The 2020 judges had a difficult time coming to a descision and would like to compliment all the competitors. We look forward to welcoming you and all our competitors back in 2021, to the Enniskerry Horse Farm  in Monastery, Enniskerry by kind permission of Mary and Syl Fenelon Bourke.

See You All In 2021

What is the Kilmacanogue Horse Show all about?

Supporting Our Local Community 

The Kilmacanogue show is run entirely by volunteers and all proceeds raised are awarded to local charities in our community. (Supported in 2019 – Purple House Cancer Support, Irish Kidney Association, Newcourt School Bray, Lakers, Wicklow Hospice, Spinal Injuries Ireland, Kilmacanogue Senior Citizens, Charabanc Enniskerry, Irish Horse Welfare Trust, Wicklow Dementia Support, Open Door Day Centre Bray, Riding for the Disabled, Kilmacanogue GAA).

The 2019 Show

Many thanks to everyone who helped make the 47th Kilmacanogue District Horse Show such a success. In particular many thanks to Syl Bourke and Mary Fenelon Bourke for the use of their fields; to everyone who helped set up the show field and equally those who helped clear it and leave it the way we found it!

Many thanks to the car-park stewards; the gate men; all who helped in the Sheep classes; the people who came along to give pony rides; all who helped in the rings; the stewards and judges; our safety stewards; the stewards in the entry marquees and the ladies in the catering marquee.

Thank you to all who came along to compete in the many and varied classes; this year the sun shone and some classes ran until after 7pm (we will improve scheduling for next year!) indicating the strong support from the riding community. 

Lastly a major thanks to all our sponsors both new and those who have supported the show for many years.  This year we donated €12000 to local charities, the presentations were made at the Summerhill Hotel in OCt 2019.

2020 ENTRIES ARE OPEN 

Since our show started in 1972, this is only the second time we have been unable to run a show due to public health priorities. We had to cancel our show in 2001 due to the foot and mouth epidemic and now this year due to COVID-19, we will not be holding the show in its traditional manner. 

We have been asked by so many of our supporters to keep the spirit of the show alive and we are all in agreement that the show must go on!! We have therefore decided to host a fun and exciting virtual show that everyone can attend. 



The Virtual Show has classes to interest everyone, Showcase a perfect jump, Childrens Pony Classes, Best Pet, Back Garden Dog Agility and a special Lockdown class.

 

.... to 2020
