Ravensdale Enjoys Another Busy Week

Week ending 21st June 2015, results & report Ravensdale Lodge Equestrian & Event Centre.

It was another busy week as large numbers made the most of the good weather, attending the regular weekly jumping competitions at Ravensdale Lodge. While Wednesday started grey with some drizzle the sun quickly burned the cloud away as a record entry attended the SJI registered horse & pony leagues. This league continues every Wednesday, with the exception of Wednesday 1st July until 29th July. There are the usual six modified horse classes from 80cm to 1.30m which start at 11am followed by modified classes for 128cm, 138cm & 148cm ponies from 5.30pm. Horse & ponies jump together on Friday evening as the SJI track used for professional riders is used to good effect in the horse & pony training league. This league continues every Friday to 31st July with seven classes from X poles to 1.10m and a start time of 5.30pm. Combinations looking for something a little different get to do just that on Saturday afternoon when the centre holds its weekly arena eventing league show. This clever mix of show jumps and professionally designed cross-country fences are used to good effect in an arena setting where typically there are in excess of 20 jumping efforts and an optional “joker” fence. This event is run broadly along the lines of the Young Event Horse qualifiers for both Balmoral & the RDS in Dublin as well as the qualifiers for Performance Connemara Hunter’s and Performance Irish Draught horses for the RDS last weekend at Ravensdale Lodge. It is also seen as an invaluable training ground for young or inexperienced horses by producers not to mention great fun by all who participate. This competition continues every Saturday until 1st August and has a convenient start time of 2pm for the 70cm class which is followed by the 85cm class at 3pm and the 1m class at 4pm. Combinations are reminded however that there will be no arena eventing on Saturday 27th June due to the RDS Amateur qualifiers. A full list of weekly & seasonal shows and events at Ravensdale Lodge can be found on the centres website www.ravensdalelodge.com or by contacting the office.
