The timing of the AIRC National Show Jumping Championships in Mullingar has always proved awkward for our club members, with several different events taking place more locally on the same date. Perhaps the lure of further derby jumping will persuade a few of you to make the journey this year. The championships take place onContinue reading “AIRC National Show Jumping Championships – a further chance for derby jumping”
