Yesterday we took the long trip to Tullylish for the first leg of the Connemara Performance Qualifiers. It was a big ask of Aoife on many levels. It certainly was the biggest track she has ever faced. It was also imposing due to the terrain fitness wise as there were a lot of hills and it was […]

AIRC Midlands Dressage Qualifier today and Aoife had to take a massive step up and ride an elementary test today and she carried it off with aplomb.

Another weekend another discipline… I took Aoife to Mullingar Equestrian today to compete in her first working hunter competition and boy am I so proud. Over a very testing track she jumped her socks off with Ciara to take 5th out of 36. 

A fantastic two days out at Leinster Dressage “Dressage in the City” in Abbotstown. Aoife made her debut in Dressage Ireland.

Just home from an incredible day AIRC National One Day Event at Lisgarvan House… where Camille and I competed in the AP Championship. Yes you read that right!! At only our 2nd event ever we finished on our dressage score of 24.4 to come second in our category and to add to this our team of Edel, Gerry, Patricia

My very first time to compete at the Connemara Pony Show in Clifden and I exceeded any expectations I had beyond all measure. To win a class in Clifden is a huge achievement but then to go on and be awarded the Reserve Supreme Ridden Pony was mind blowing. Camille was superb and floated across the
