Visit Letterkenny RidingContinue reading “Donating made easy for Relay For Life”
Planning for the team show jumping qualifier
The Western Region team show jumping championship qualifier takes place on the last Sunday in May. If time continues to fly by at its current rate, it will all be over before we have time to blink. The competition is open to riders graded Intermediate or above. If you’re interested in representing the club onContinue reading “Planning for the team show jumping qualifier”
Tanya back in the red
While half the club was focussed on cross country at Flowerhill on Sunday last, Tanya’s mind was on dressage. She made a welcome return to competitive action after recovering from a very nasty collarbone break that she picked up late last season. It’s clear that she hasn’t lost her touch. Not one to do thingsContinue reading “Tanya back in the red”

Fairytale Flowerhill
With great anticipation can come great disappointment. By now everybody who heads down to compete at the National Hunter Trial Championships at Flowerhill knows that they’re doing it for the thrill and the experience, not for the winning. That makes things all the sweeter when things do end in victory. On Saturday morning four lorriesContinue reading “Fairytale Flowerhill”
Finally, Flowerhill
Over the years a club develops a soft spot for particular events. They become embedded in the general consciousness of the members, like birthdays and Christmas and First Communions. We arrange our calendars around them; they become focal points for the year. Letterkenny Riding Club was formed in 2006 and we first had competitors atContinue reading “Finally, Flowerhill”
