Plusvital Marks a Memorable Dublin Horse Show 2025

Plusvital enjoyed a truly exceptional week at the Dublin Horse Show 2025, welcoming thousands of customers, friends, clients, and ambassadors to our stand at Simmonscourt Road 117. The atmosphere was electric all week, and we are so grateful to everyone who stopped by to say hello and celebrate the achievements of our Plusvital athletes and supporters.

Outstanding Performances from Plusvital Riders

Denis Lynch – Played a key role in Ireland’s 3rd place finish in the prestigious Aga Khan Trophy alongside Seamus Hughes Kennedy, Tom Wachman, and Cian O’Connor with Vistogrand 🇮🇪. Denis also enjoyed multiple international placings across the 5 days.

Cathal Daniels – Took victory in the 6-Year-Old Qualifier in Simmonscourt with Tullibards Pandora and jumped clear in the Minerva Stakes with Cappog Tomy.

Emily Kate Robinson – Won the Racehorse to Riding Horse class with A Plus Tard.

“Plusvital has been so important to A Plus Tard leading up to the Dublin Horse Show — we wanted to increase his calories and anything that is fattening, we wanted him to be heavier for showing. He’s on the Carron Oil, the Neutragast to settle his stomach, and the Tryptocool to balance his brain and keep him calmer in the show ring.”

Plusvital Mare & Foal Championship – For the third consecutive year, John Roche’s Assagart Hopeful claimed the title.

Susan Fitzpatrick – Took 3rd place in the opening 5★ class with Lovely Stassi and jumped clear in the 1.55m GP Qualifier with Valisco.

Hughes Horse Stud – Molly Hughes Bravo won the 7/8-Year-Old Final with HHS Mercedes. Mikey Pender enjoyed numerous placings in the young horse classes, two international wins, and 3rd in the Puissance.

“I use Neutragast with HHS Fortune. She jumped brilliant this week — she won two classes at the Dublin Horse Show. I find this a very good product for her stomach; I use it with all my horses, but with Fortune it makes a massive difference and gave her the vital edge this week.”

Plusvital Breeders Talk – Our Plusvital Breeders Talk drew over 100 passionate breeders for an inspiring and knowledge-packed session. The discussion offered unique insights into breeding, training, and the science behind equine performance — a true highlight of the show week.

The panel included:

Rebecca Watson, Plusvital CTO

Dr. Marcus Swail, EquiVET Ireland & Irish Showjumping Team Veterinarian

Floris van Leuken, Holsten Stables – Breeder, Commentator, Judge, Selector

Willem Greve, Dutch Olympian & member of the winning Dutch Team in the 2025 Aga Khan Nations Cup

Looking Ahead:

We now look forward to the final leg of the 2025 Plusvital Premier Series at the Irish Breeders Classic on Saturday, 30th August. After that, September will see the Plusvital team attending both the BEVA Congress and BETA International in the UK.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make Dublin Horse Show 2025 such a success for Plusvital. We are proud to support equestrian excellence and can’t wait for the next chapter!
