Lisgarvan House International Horse Trials Returns – A World-Class Equestrian and Country Life Experience in the Heart of County Carlow

The lush rolling countryside of County Carlow is set to come alive once again with the Lisgarvan House International Horse Trials, taking place from 20th to 23rd August 2026. Just two miles from Ballon and easily accessible via the M9 motorway, this internationally renowned event has rapidly become a fixture on Ireland’s equestrian and country lifestyle calendar.

Now entering its third year, Lisgarvan House is not just a sporting event – it is a celebration of community, country life, and Irish hospitality. Organised and hosted by the Corrigan family, who manage the event alongside their busy farming operations, the Horse Trials have become a true testament to rural Ireland’s capacity for world-class event delivery.

The 2025 edition saw participation from riders across 14 nations, including Olympic and top Irish competitors, and this year’s event is set to be even bigger. Thousands of spectators from across Ireland and beyond are expected to descend on Lisgarvan, drawn not only by the sporting excellence but by the atmosphere of welcome, celebration, and authenticity.
