Some FANTASTIC results today at Champs.. and lots of fun too.

I think all of us gave learned so much over the last couple of weeks. From travelling, to looking after our horses 🐎 away from home, to coping with the heat and pressure of riding in a team. The area 17 camp was just awesome, parents and coaches were all so dedicated and supportive.

On the day of GCSE results we are looking forward to another fun day at national championships! Good luck to all with results…

Well done to all members here so far.. you are doing your branches and Northern Ireland proud.

Notable achievements yesterday from Grace McIlroy and “Ace” taking the individual win in PC90 SJ and our H&PC teams doing brilliantly too. Super job to all competitors who turned up, showed up, and learned lots.

Well done to all our Dressage DIVAS today from all Area 17 Branches.
Iveagh did particularly well with a team 2nd, comprised of Isaac Maccathy, Sarah and Catherine Cowan... and an individual 2nd for Isaac McCarthy. They all look well loaded up with prizes, and importantly, they are all smiling.

Area 17 also had great representation from a variety of Branches across the board in dressage and show jumping, with lots learned, and our members can definitely hold their heads high after doing well against serious competition.

A proud day at the office for Area 17 Northern Ireland.

On the weekend of the World Equestrian Championships in Aachen, here is a little bit of inspo from Irish Event rider Sam Watson. (Although don't try riding with broken bones. We have moved on from that, thankfully).

He talks about Bill Roycroft from Australia, who won Badminton after a 6-week (!!!) journey to England via Italy to drop off some sheep.

This week, our first Northern Irish convoys leave for Gloucs in England for the Pony Club Championships.

Safe journeys all - and have fun - Mounted Games and Tetrathlon kick things off this week.
