A short trip to a different world
As a club we may not excel at dressage, showjumping or any of the conventional riding club disciplines but our weekend excursion to Bundoran proved yet again that we are world beaters when it comes to the fine art of enjoying ourselves. Louise and Libby delayed the start of the action but Fenway arrived sportingContinue reading “A short trip to a different world”
Weekend prospects
Two slightly conflicting views on the weather for this weekend. I think we’d happily settle for either, given our recent luck with weekends away!
Bundoran 2013
Despite the weather our club’s annual trip away was a very enjoyable weekend filled with adventurous routes through unknown territory though the sand dunes, beach rides, cross country, good food and great craic.

Magical Carrickfinn worth the two-year wait
The weather came good when we needed it this year and 10 members enjoyed a memorable camping trip in magical Carrickfinn. Most of them are still nursing sore ribs, injured from excessive laughter on a long and lingering Saturday night by a mighty campfire. Spectacular surroundings, great weather, wonderful riding, good eating and priceless company.Continue reading “Magical Carrickfinn worth the two-year wait”
