Jean-Francois Pignon has become something of a phenomenon, having developed and refined his skills of natural horsemanship to an unimaginable level.

He will demonstrate the true trust and understanding that can exist between man and horse through a series of daredevil acts and acrobatics in the RDS Main Arena and Simmonscourt during this year’s show.

Visitors to this year's show will find a wide range of consumer goods, fashion wear, millinery, equestrian clothing, wines and confectionery in over 300 trade stands.
