🐴 AIRC Festival 2026 🐴

BCRC had a great weekend at the Association of Irish Riding Clubs festival in Mullingar with lots of spot prizes and rosettes making their way back to Monaghan!

Despite a few downpours, spirits were high with plenty of action in the arena's with an unfortunate pole keeping a few members out of the placings!

Lots of fun at the table quiz and music bingo with members making the most of the weekend!
