Dear Client,
Teagasc is happy to announce that we are organising an Equine Educational Tour to Northern Germany in March 2009.
This is a unique opportunity for the equine industry to visit many celebrated breeders and stud farms in the Bremen and Hamburg region, including the Holstein Breeders Association’s famous stallion yard in Elmshorn and the breeder of the great Cavalier.
As an added bonus, Equitana 2009, the biennial Equestrian Sports World Fair, is taking place in Essen and we will be taking in two days at this spectacular event.
A proposed itinerary of this exclusive tour is attached for your consideration.
It is our intention to depart from Dublin on 18th March and return on the 23rd March 2009. The price may vary slightly depending on flight prices and number of people travelling, at the time booking.
In order to ensure a place on this unique tour an initial deposit of €250.00 per person payable to Group Travel International (GTI) must be sent before August 22nd 2008, for administrative efficiency, please send all deposits to Group Travel International only. Please make all cheques/drafts payable to GTI and send using the enclosed booking form and pre-addressed envelope to (GTI).
