We are super excited to share details of the rapidly approaching AIRC West regionForan Equine 70/80 Team Show Jumping Qualifier, and the first of the AIRC West region's Connolly's RED MILLS Dressage Qualifiers.

Letterkenny Riding Club and Stracomer Riding Club are organising the two qualifiers, with plenty of help from Inishowen Riding Club Donegal Gaeltacht Riding Club and Tirconaill Riding Club . The venue is the incomparable Castle Irvine Necarne , with its cathedral-like indoor arena, massive all-weather walled-garden arena and extensive estate. Why not make a weekend of it and stable your four legged partner while you enjoy the craic in the town or party into the small hours in the onsite accommodation?💃🍜🥗🍷🍻

The show jumping qualifier is open to all clubs in the West region. Full rules can be found in Section 4,Rule 2, of the current Association of Irish Riding Clubs rulebook.

The dressage qualifier includes both the Team Qualifier, open to all clubs in the West region, and the Individual Qualifiers, which are open to all current members of the AIRC. Just remember that a team may only compete in one qualifier, so clubs need to decide whether they stand a better chance of a win at Necarne or at the second West region qualifier on July 5th.

Entries are now open on the North West Riding Clubs itsplainsailing, where you can also book stabling onsite. https://itsplainsailing.com/org/nwrc

Entries close on Sunday 17th, one week ahead of the qualifiers.

If you have any questions at all please contact us and we'll help you out all we can
