Anne Healy, Owner of Biddy’s Good Luck Horse Shoes will represent Kilkenny at this year’s Local Enterprise Village in the National Ploughing Championships.

A Kilkenny business will get a chance to exhibit their business to almost 300,000 people at the National Ploughing Championships as part of the Local Enterprise Village.

Biddy’s Good Luck Horse Shoes, who are supported by Local Enterprise Office Kilkenny make pieces of Irish good luck from genuine horse shoes once worn by an Irish sports horse, a little piece of Irish heritage, history and tradition. They create meaningful, impactful, sustainable and affordable keepsake gifts which are full of Irish good luck.

The initiative of the Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) will see 30 small businesses from across the country take a stand in the Local Enterprise Village in the heart of the Ploughing Championships, opening their businesses up to almost 300,000 prospective customers across the 3 days of the event.  

Aileen McGrath, Head of Enterprise, Local Enterprise Office Kilkenny said “The National Ploughing Championship is one of the biggest occasions on the Irish calendar and there are very few events that draw a crowd as large as this over three days.  For a small business this is a huge opportunity to engage with thousands of prospective customers every day and this could have a significant impact on its business’’
