Nadine, Tanya, Leo, Cormac, Francis and Anne turned out to learnContinue reading “Riding Club life back in the groove after a great First Friday”
Friday night jumping lessons with Kelda
There’s nothing like that first foray of the new year out into the riding club limelight. We all think we’ve fallen hopelessly behind with our horses and our riding and it’s generally a pretty encouraging experience to find out that most of our fellow members are in exactly the same boat. You have a chanceContinue reading “Friday night jumping lessons with Kelda”

To get upContinue reading “Happy New Year (and remember to renew your membership!)”

Text either Damien or Nadine in advance to let them know whetherContinue reading “Pre-Christmas Wii evening, Saturday 21 December”

A healthy mixture of continuity and change after our 2013 AGM
There’s no doubt it felt a bit odd gathering in earliest November for our AGM when tradition dictates that it falls in the festive December season. We’re an adaptable bunch however and the healthy number of members who attended Friday night’s meeting got on with both the official business and the business of socialising withoutContinue reading “A healthy mixture of continuity and change after our 2013 AGM”
