Congratulations to Marina…winner of the first Letterkenny Riding Club competition of 2020. Commiserations to Enda and Jade, who probably supplied all the answers!! As you can see in the video (if it uploads) Katie was an independent adjudicator to make sure everything was above board. Marina can now choose one of the three prize bundlesContinue reading “Congratulations”

Ok guys, I’ve decided to extend the deadline for the Easter Challenge crossword entries. Let’s say Thursday 16th. IMPORTANT UPDATE: The clue for 31 down should read HSI precursor Not his precursor. Sorry. Feckin autocorrect sneaked in on me! If you’ve already sent me your crossword just text/message me with your updated answer for 31Continue reading “I hate autocorrect!”

This truly is a young head on old shoulders. One of our youngest members on what must be our oldest member. Jade and Teldel touring the farm on the old lads 30th birthday. Great to see, and a credit to Marina for keeping him (and Jade!) In such good order.

In the midst of the strange times we are living through I thought we could all do with a little entertainment to keep us occupied while we sit tight and keep safe at home. So how about a little competition and a chance to pick a prize of your choice if you’re the lucky winner?Continue reading “Competition time”

I can confidently state that none of us envisaged the St. Patrick’s day we would be having this year. The weather is more or less traditional fare I admit, but the lack of a parade to attend or a pub to visit is pretty remarkable. Myself and Libby spent an enjoyable, albeit very wet, hourContinue reading “A very happy St. Patrick’s day”

Templemore Equestrian Centre has taken the responsible approach of cancelling any shows in the near future. I give up. TemplemoreContinue reading “It wasn’t meant to be.”

  HW Equine PhysiotherapyLike Page One of the things which frequently amazes me is that riders expect their horses to cope with sudden spats of intense exercise without feeling any the worse for the wear whilst the rider in question is as stiff as a plank two days later and has to think carefully aboutContinue reading

Not often do we have a points table with just two legs to include…I’m thinking it may produce a somewhat wobbly table. Megan Coxford was on photography duty on the day so I’ll upload the link to her albums as soon as I get it. Do try to support a local young business woman withContinue reading “NWRC Spring League – week 1 results and points table”

The one recurring comment at Greenacres today was “Isn’t it great to get back out again?” Everyone was delighted to get the season up and going again, though for some of us the long interval between this show and our last time over coloured poles exacted a penalty. Letterkenny was represented by Rachel, Francis, CliffContinue reading “It’s good to get out”
