Dungar Quality Oats are delighted to be involved as sponsors of this years P2P.IE Next Gen feature.  This series of articles by P2P.IE recognises talented up and coming jockeys who have had their first winner on the point to point track.

In direct interviews with the jockeys, readers are provided with a wonderful insight into the varied backgrounds, lives and ambitions of the riders, none of whom take success for granted.
