Relay For Life: Weekend arrangements *updated
Team Captain, Cormac, has an update on arrangements for the weekend: I have spoken to most people at this stage and have got agreement on the slots they will fill over the 24hrs.

Travel to Tattersalls
Lack of interest has led the Pony Club to shelve their plans to run a bus to the cross country day at Tattersalls on Saturday 2 June. Don’t despair though — luckily for us, Roisin McGee’s family are running a 30-seater bus to the event and you can book with them instead. The cost isContinue reading “Travel to Tattersalls”
Magical Carrickfinn worth the two-year wait

Many thanks to Mary for the usual expertContinue reading “Lessons at Glenleary a great success”

Carrickfinn prospects looking flickeringly hopeful
Don’t get your hopes up. Be prepared for the worst. Assume that the weather will be awful. Only then, expectations suitably managed, should you take a look at the forecast that’s emerging for the weekend: Accuweather | Burtonport. The weather is so changeable at present that you’ll need to keep checking the forecast at regularContinue reading “Carrickfinn prospects looking flickeringly hopeful”
Instruction with Mary Finneran, Friday 18 May
Mary Finneran is so busy with her own business at Glenleary Stables that it’s tough for the riding club to grab her for lessons. This Friday we have the opportunity to benefit from her wonderful instruction. Sally is organising the evening’s classes and will divide riders into groups of flatwork and jumping enthusiasts so thatContinue reading “Instruction with Mary Finneran, Friday 18 May”
