Shillelagh and District Hunt Branch will hold a Novice One Day Event on Sunday 8th September 2019 in the Tinahely Riding Club Grounds.

Amazing, fantastic and thrilling. Just some of the many positive words that the ten Irish Pony Club members used to describe their experiences at the 2019 RACE Jockey Skills Course.

Message from the Irish Pony Club Show Jumping Chairman

Calling all Irish Pony Club members! The Fun Virtual Musical Ride competition is now open for judging, and we are inviting members to watch the videos of the four Virtual Musical Ride entries posted on the IPC Face Book page, and give their marks and comments on the online judging form. You can give marks for paces, team work, choreography, music and costumes, and overall impression - just like the judges for the rides at the Festival Championships!  Don't submit marks for your own Branch entry as they won't be counted, but you can enjoy watching them all.

We hope that Branches are inspired to create their own Musical Rides in 2021 - it is a lot of fun for everyone involved! 

Dear Instructors,

Our Training Committee have been working extremely hard to update our instructors register. Forms are being updated and a new contact email is in the process of being set up. Give us a few days and the instructors section of the down loads will be completed and ready for action.

Also please note that we no longer process Garda Vetting through Head Office. This can now be applied for through Horse Sport Ireland @https://www.horsesportireland.ie/governance/garda-vetting/
