Two days later, one of the highlights of the coming quarter is undoubtedly the Audrey Jacob Northwest Team Challenge on Sunday, 24Continue reading “Calendar in a nutshell”

Best of luck to our teams in Sligo
Better late than never: The very, very best of luck to Anne, Damien, Shauna, Leo, Cormack, Marina, Lisa and Keary in Sligo today. It’s the annual tilt for a spot at the RDS team show jumping championships in August. Fingers crossed…

Tynagh took the wildcard spot andContinue reading “No joy at qualifier as Benbulben head for RDS”

Non-stop riding club activity for coming months
Last week’s club meeting painted a very rich picture of competitive and non-competitive activity for members — most of it on our doorstep. It’s difficult to find space for our regular Friday activities in a calendar over-flowing with shows and events. In summery, this is what we have to look forward to: National Hunter Trials,Continue reading “Non-stop riding club activity for coming months”
