Warrenpoint & District 2 team qualified for NIRC team competition

Clogher Valley Riding Club held their Summer show at the Ecclesville Centre, Fintona on Sunday 16^th June. The weather held fair and a great turnout of horses and ponies enjoyed a super day’s jumping over Raymond Caldwell’s testing courses.

The individual classes from 40cm up to 1m were very generously sponsored by Clogher Valley Caravan Park & Horses Welcome, Equine Sports Therapy, Omagh Equestrian, FaneValley, Blue Grass and The Equestrian Store. Qualifiers for the Pony Club Jumps Ahead sponsored by Watson Seeds and NIRC team competitions were also held with competitors travelling considerable distances to take part.
