WINR’s Autumn event shone a spotlight on the unique challenges women face in the workplace and steps taken to  overcome them…

Following an informative racehorse to riding horse masterclass earlier in the afternoon, “transitions”  remained the theme into the evening event hosted by WINR in partnership with Treo Eile, only this time it was humans rather than horses that took centre stage….

WINR partnered with Treo Eile to put together a Spring Showcase on Tuesday April 16^th.  Approximately 80 people attended a masterclass in jumping and showing in the huge indoor school at RACE in the afternoon…

The AGM was held at RACE after the Riding Masterclass, with 36 people in attendance. The outgoing chair, Clodagh Kavanagh, thanked the committee for their commitment and support….

This event was held in the impressive Red Mills Store just outside Kilkenny city. Attendees were treated to light supper and prosecco on arrival and there was lots to see and try on in the shop which was full of lovely winter wear and equine products. The Red Mills team were on hand in force to welcome everyone, along with the WINR committee.

Prior to racing at Leopardstown Racecourse on May 19^th, over 60 women attended the WINR Summer Showcase on the top floor Penthouse which overlooks the track.

A feel good horseracing movie on a cold February evening was a very enjoyable way to kick off 2023 for WINR

The Jumping to Success event at Tattersalls during the November NH sale was the third and final WINR event of 2022. It kicked off at 3pm in the afternoon with an opportunity to meet and shadow consignor Olive O’Connor and agent Anna Moore at the sale.

65 people attended the WINR mentoring launch held in the beautiful surrounds of Kildangan Stud on August 31^st.

WINR hosted an invitation only network event at Fairyhouse on the day of the Ladies National Steeplechase with the intention of connecting riders in the race with women working in racing yards, bloodstock, education, administration and regulation of Irish racing. 

The Autumn Inspiration event was held at the Irish National Stud on a lovely October evening.

The webinar was co-hosted by Becky Coonan and Lily Cantillon, WINR committee members, to showcase the wide variety of career opportunities available within the Irish thoroughbred and racing industry.
