From field to show ring clinic

STRULE Valley Riding Club in Omagh, Co Tyrone, is holding a clinic at Ecclesville entitled ‘From Field to Show Ring’ with Toni Donnelly on Wednesday 13th June commencing at 7pm.

The cost is £5 each for adults and £3 for children.

This is a practical demo and lecture which will cover everything a rider will need to know to get sorted for the coming show season.

Topics which will be covered include horse type and correct conformation, nutrition, health, fitness and training, grooming products and ‘tricks of the trade’, tack and turnout, different classes, correct etiquette and dress for riders.

The practical demo will include riders from Strule Valley under Toni’s instruction, who will be shown how to ride a show correctly and then focus on the proper way of jumping a working hunter course.

Everyone is encouraged to come along for what promises to be a fun night out.

The annual summer showjumping league commences on Wednesday 27th June at Ecclesville, Fintona, starting at 7pm sharp with the 60cm class, followed by 70cm, 80cm, 90cm and the metre class includes a timed round.

Everyone is welcome - ponies and horses, members and visitors.

This league runs for four weeks and week four (Wednesday 18th July) is the final where special rosettes and prizes will be on offer for the league winners in each class.

The Fordie Cathers Perpetual Cup will be awarded to the highest placed Strule Valley Riding Club member on the final night.

New members are welcome to join and must be 18 years old and horses four years old.
