Opportunities for a dry run before our show
It would probably do all of us good to get in a dry run over a course of jumps before our show on Saturday 23. We plan to have clear round jumping at Cyril’s on Thursday 21. Orla will be doing the course building on Wednesday so anybody who can give a hand will beContinue reading “Opportunities for a dry run before our show”
Getting the ball rolling for the 2011 North West League
Francis, Orla and Paddy, this year’s club coordinators for the North West League, will be meeting with the Tirconaills and Donegal Gaeltachts next Thursday, 14 October, to get the ball rolling for the 2011 edition.

The season of good photography is over – let the imagination begin
The club’s first lessons with Patricia Warren were a great success on Friday evening when three groups enjoyed intriguing exercises which illustrated the inextricable relationship between good flatwork and good jumping. Patricia was confronted with a colourful cross section of members and their equally diverse mounts but she quickly identified the essential characteristics of eachContinue reading “The season of good photography is over – let the imagination begin”
More Millers Hill
John never made it to Millers Hill this year but Sharon put in a brief appearance and managed to get some photographs of the one dry hour we enjoyed on Saturday afternoon. The grey sky overhead is full of rain but the very impressive black cloud that could be seen to the far north westContinue reading “More Millers Hill”
Autumn/Winter calendar highlights
Jumping seems to be the main focus of our Friday evening activities between now and Christmas, but there’s plenty of other action as well. We’re staying outdoors for another month and Patricia Warren will instruct us in jumping at Cyril’s arena in Milford for the next three Fridays. Book at latest by Wednesday with LizContinue reading “Autumn/Winter calendar highlights”
Clear round jumping at Cyril’s, Friday 24 September
This Friday we’re moving away from flatwork for an evening of clear round jumping at Cyril’s arena. Orla built the course on Wednesday since she won’t be able to be there on Friday evening. Please let Erica know if you plan to attend so that she can get an idea of the heights that everybody wouldContinue reading “Clear round jumping at Cyril’s, Friday 24 September”
Club meeting changed to Monday evening, 27 September
A hectic Sunday schedule with sponsored rides and harvest feasts means that our club meeting is moving to Monday 27 September, 8pm, Tír na nOg. Everybody is welcome.
Millers Hill lives up to Millers Hill
A success in Year 1 is so often followed by an anticlimax in Year 2. Incessant rain, busted lorries and injured horses failed to dampen spirits and Year 2 matched (if not exceeded) the expectations that had lingered over the 12 months since our 2009 visit to Millers Hill. The Shark Partnership of Leo &Continue reading “Millers Hill lives up to Millers Hill”
All set for Millers Hill
Unexpected yankee visitors, sick animals and elusive baby-sitters have diluted the numbers for Millers Hill but there’ll still be a notable convoy heading down the road on Saturday morning. Mick and Leo missed the expedition last year but nothing short of an earthquake will prevent them travelling tomorrow. They’ll be joined by 2009 veterans AudreyContinue reading “All set for Millers Hill”
