Entries open for Border Counties ODE qualifier

Posted on June 18, 2012 | Comments Off on Entries open for Border Counties ODE qualifier

There are very few one-day events within reasonable range of our club’s territory so the  Border Counties Riding Club’s qualifier for the AIRC National Horse Trials Championship — a comparatively short drive away in Monaghan — always proves popular with our members.

The schedule has now been published and entries close on Friday 29 June for the event which takes place on Sunday 8 July.

Travel to Tattersalls

Posted on May 21, 2012 | Comments Off on Travel to Tattersalls

Lack of interest has led the Pony Club to shelve their plans to run a bus to the cross country day at Tattersalls on Saturday 2 June. Don’t despair though — luckily for us, Roisin McGee’s family are running a 30-seater bus to the event and  you can book with them instead. The cost is €10 a head and the pick-up is in Letterkenny.

Contact Roisin on 087 918 0008, if you’d like to book a seat.

Tattersalls opportunity

Posted on May 14, 2012 | Comments Off on Tattersalls opportunity

East Donegal Pony Club are organising a group visit to Tattersalls on Saturday 2 June, the exciting cross country day in this international eventing fixture. Luckily for all of us, the trip is open to non-pony-club-members. Here’s the deal:

Ticket prices will be no more than €12.00 for an adult or €5.00 for kids aged 13–17. Kids under 12 enter for free. Tatts have said that they will give us a reduced price for a group – possibly a 2-for-1 offer – so I can’t give you a final quote yet. Coach prices vary according to numbers but will be no more than €18.00 per person. The trip is open to non-club members, so if you have friends or family you want to bring let them know, but priority will be given to our own members and their families. Please let Rachel (086 161 7087) or Stella (085 828 4306) know if you are interested and roughly how many of each age group would be with you.
