Erica will lead a ride-out this Friday evening leaving from Dawn and Laura Howard’s house close to Ramelton. Meeting time is 7pm. The route covers approximately 5 miles of quiet roads, grassy lanes and forestry. For anyone who’s been in the club for a few years, it’s over the same countryside as Tony McCaul’s ride-outs that FrancisContinue reading “Ride-out this Friday near Ramelton”

Looking forward to Tattersalls International Horse Trials
The forthcoming international horse trials at Tattersalls were in the limelight on Monday when the event was officially launched (isn’t it amazing how our events thrive without being “launched”?). This really is a top class competition and remember that Orla has a contact who she hopes will take interested members on a course walk ofContinue reading “Looking forward to Tattersalls International Horse Trials”
Introducing our prize pig…
Suzanne had barely taken her eye off the trailer after unloading Jack at the weekend when the prize for our raffle appeared on the front ramp… Mick and Suzanne are generously donating a side of free range, happy-pig pork as the premium prize for the raffle at our Spring League Show on Sunday. Hopefully MrContinue reading “Introducing our prize pig…”
Weather forecasts likely to cause wrinkles
Damien and Nadine obviously have a gift for reading the future — how wise were they to book Eglinton for our Spring Show this coming Sunday? The weather looks far from promising but the indoor facilities at the venue will ensure that we have a great day in spite of any rain. (The dressage ridersContinue reading “Weather forecasts likely to cause wrinkles”
An odd shower does nothing to dampen enjoyment of the weekend’s activities
A spectacular thunderous downpour at 6pm on Friday raised a question mark over the weekend’s activities but, as usual, fortune favoured the brave. Everybody who decided to carry on regardless enjoyed hours of beautiful sunshine and stunning spring light, whatever their activity of choice. Orla designed a really enjoyable course for Friday’s clear round jumpingContinue reading “An odd shower does nothing to dampen enjoyment of the weekend’s activities”

Dressage in the wild west
It was a fine dry evening with some lovely sunshine and enough of a breeze to merit an amendment to the AIRC dressage tack sheet: in future bandanas are permissable at our club dressage competitions (they might even be permissable for the horses, if they lobby strongly enough!). Day after day of fine dry weatherContinue reading “Dressage in the wild west”
Plenty of competition for Friday evening’s dressage test
About a dozen members have booked in with Liz to test their skills in the dressage arena on Friday evening. Patricia Warren will talk the test over with each individual and there’ll be a chance to ride it twice with each participant allocated a 15 minute slot. It’s a tremendous opportunity to get very concentratedContinue reading “Plenty of competition for Friday evening’s dressage test”
Easter action on several fronts
Lots can happen on a sunny 4-day weekend in the lives of our members. Easter kicked off with a heavily attended and somewhat chaotic training session for team jumping on Thursday evening. With the focus of the tuition on turns and speed, Tanya and Damien took unlucky tumbles as both Al and Millie slipped upContinue reading “Easter action on several fronts”
