tom reed, the managing director of scope auction ltd., voiced his appreciation to the irish horse board for the inward buyer programme. the owners of scope auction ltd. ---- gill rolton, jennie loriston--clarke, and i ---- and breeders throughout ireland who are producing world--class horses for sport and breeding thank the irish horse board for awarding the inward buyer programme to scope. since the scope auction will be held on august 3, which is the weekend before the dublin horse show, individuals who travel to ireland and buy a horse through scope can enjoy free plane or ferry travel to attend the 3rd international breeders conference on august 2, the scope auction on august 3, and the dublin horse show on august 6--10. this is a great opportunity for breeders and competitors, trainers and agents to enjoy a week of equestrian activities in ireland with their airfare reimbursed by the irish horse board. sounds like a great deal to me!
