Discipline Sub-Committees

About Us > Sub-Committees

The following is a guide to the role of the Discipline Sub Committees.

There is a committee for each discipline, show jumping, dressage/combined training, horse trials and mounted games. There are also two advisory committees, training and finance. Below you will find a list of the representatives on each committee. It should be remembered that all of these representatives are volunteers who give a great deal of time and expertise to the Irish Pony Club, without which it would not be possible to run our Championships and other competitions.
