Tattersalls Ireland Managing Director Matt Mitchell said, “This has been one of the best ever international three-day events held here at Tattersalls and our country fair just keeps growing every year. Tattersalls is now a recognized international sporting destination and our importance to the equine industry here has been further emphasized by the fact we were responsible for the biggest single movement ever of competition horses across the Irish Sea earlier this week.”
