The West Cork Horse Breeders cooperative society is located in the south west corner of Ireland and has been in existence since 1993. It is a voluntary organisation dedicated to the support and promotion of the horse breeding industry in the Cork area. Various seminars and competitions are organised each year to support these goals.

Cork, world renowned for the breeding of top quality competition horses. Tough indigenous mares helped by some wonderful Thoroughbred sires Blassompierre and Edmund Burke to mention but a few, have all contributed to the success.
