“When you look at other sports throughout the spring and summer, attendance has not been strong. But we came back a lot stronger than we left,” he said. In 2020, the Dublin Horse Show was cancelled because of the Covid pandemic and though it had been hoped that it would return in 2021, the ongoing uncertainty caused by the pandemic meant that it ultimately had to be dramatically scaled back with a smaller, national show taking place behind closed doors. That setback only added to the sense of delight that the full show returned this year.
There were challenges, though and Mr Hanly admits it was difficult to find the people required to supplement the society’s core staff of 80 given the country’s current labour shortage. Those who did work on the show did brilliantly to ensure it went so well, he said.
