A short trip to a different world
As a club we may not excel at dressage, showjumping or any of the conventional riding club disciplines but our weekend excursion to Bundoran proved yet again that we are world beaters when it comes to the fine art of enjoying ourselves. Louise and Libby delayed the start of the action but Fenway arrived sportingContinue reading “A short trip to a different world”
Weekend prospects
Two slightly conflicting views on the weather for this weekend. I think we’d happily settle for either, given our recent luck with weekends away!

To fill the competition gap until the league, our Inishowen neighbours are running a show at Lenamore onContinue reading “Competitive schedule for the Autumn with Inishowen RC Show and North West League to look forward to”
Bundoran!!
