Schedule for our Autumn League Show & Team Show Jumping Challenge, Saturday 23 October
Rachel has been working out the finer details of our upcoming league show. The date has changed from Sunday 24 to Saturday 23 October but the venue remains the same. The value of a completely indoor set-up was clear last year as the rain pelted relentlessly over the roof of Eglinton.

Crossjump & Dressage 2010 – another successful event under the club’s belt
It drizzled a lot but it was warm and there were no downpours – good weather by recent standards for our annual crossjump and dressage on Sunday. Attendance was on a par with 2010 despite the absence of many familiar Gaeltacht faces who had either indulged too deeply at a wedding the previous evening orContinue reading “Crossjump & Dressage 2010 – another successful event under the club’s belt”
Crossjump tradition now well established
First and foremost, it looks as if the weather is going to play ball for our activities this weekend. Getting the course at Lenamore ready on Saturday is almost as big an event as the actual crossjump on Sunday. A crew of club members will clip, clear, saw, hammer, strim, hack, paint and polish theContinue reading “Crossjump tradition now well established”
Something new for Primary show jumpers at our cross jump
Primary riders rejoice – you are going to be allowed out of the sand arena this Sunday! Marina and Keary have devised a course which begins and ends in the arena but brings Primary riders out onto the grass around two of the adjoining fields. The jumps will all be coloured poles with the exceptionContinue reading “Something new for Primary show jumpers at our cross jump”
LRC Crossjump & Dressage, Lenamore, Sunday 25 July
Marina and Keary have all the homework done for our Crossjump & Dressage event on Sunday 25 July. The schedule is complete.

Summer weather dominates Spring Friendly
The friendly relaxed atmosphere at the club’s Spring Friendly was matched only by the brilliant sunshine and warm breeze at Lenamore. Members from the Donegal Gaeltacht and Tirconaill riding clubs supported the event and took away their fair share of rosettes. A big thank you to Nadine and Damien who coordinated the event and thanksContinue reading “Summer weather dominates Spring Friendly”
