Social climbers: Enda reveals all
Where do I start – the wrestlers in lycra or the wall. They both had the ladies in a sweat. More on the men in pink in a moment but first the 12 members who made the journey to Derry on Friday for a mystery evening all rose to the challenge and what a challenge.Continue reading “Social climbers: Enda reveals all”
Well done Marina!
Marina rode a blinder at Fairyhouse on Saturday when she fulfilled her dream of riding in a “real” race before she kicks the bucket. She finished in third place, losing second by a whisker, after an impressive run from the back, picking off victims one by one as she progressed relentlessly. The winning post cameContinue reading “Well done Marina!”

January sees club life rekindled
Our riding club years have a comfortably familiar pattern. We recover slowly from the break over Christmas and New Year (bravely interrupted this time by Inishowen’s show) and gradually start setting the mounted wheels in motion to get us to the first big day of the season, the first leg of the NWL on SundayContinue reading “January sees club life rekindled”
Happy New Year
A very, very happy new year to all our members and their families and friends. After a memorable 2014 here’s hoping for a peaceful and rewarding 2015 where our equestrian ambitions are realised and our club activities bring us endless pleasure.
Annual General Meeting 2014 – another fine year under our belt
Inevitably one or two members were inconvenienced by the last minute change of day for the AGM but the very healthy attendance (over two-thirds of our membership) who made it on the night demonstrates how interested and involved in the club everybody remains. In his Chairman’s address, Enda applauded our members’ willingness to take on tasks andContinue reading “Annual General Meeting 2014 – another fine year under our belt”

Everybody is strongly encouraged to attend so that the club can benefit from its members’ input as we chart a course for 2015.
