I don’t know about the rest of you but in my opinion June has absolutely flown by. With just one week left in the month we can just about draw breath while we look back at the great activities enjoyed over the past few weeks. The charity ride out at the start of the monthContinue reading “June winding down as July starts to rev it’s engines.”

Best of luck and congratulations to Suzanne and her two trusty (a description which may be stretching the boundaries of truth a little) steeds. Suzanne is the only Letterkenny member making the journey to the AIRC Festival in Mullingar this year and she is quite literally flying the flag for us down there. Suzanne isContinue reading “The Lone Ranger”

With both the dressage and the show jumping championships behind us we can look forward to some fun and excitement over the coming weeks and months. As I type this a sizeable portion of the club membership are enjoying the annual trip to Carrickfinn, where sun, sea and campfire dispel all the stresses of theContinue reading “So what’s next?”

Remember to bring yourContinue reading “Let battle commence”

We have a great entry from the club, with two dressage teams and a number of individual dressage entries. In addition to the dressage there are theContinue reading “Busy weekend ahead”

First and foremost I must apologise to everyone who arrived at Eglinton today and discovered that stables were not actually available. It was a genuine mistake on our part and we didn’t know that almost all the stables at Eglinton are now locked up and unavailable. That aside I think we can agree that theContinue reading “A great AJTC over for another year”
