Check out the following attachment to see all of the year's highlights and achievements. 2018 was a fantastic year for the club as all of the The games season came to an exciting finish in October over the course of two days in Punchestown. The weather wasn't in our favour as it rained non stop on Saturday but that didn't stop the teams from bravely stepping up and competing 4 times each over the weekend. The junior team of Cara, Jessica, Miriam, Polly and Alice finished in a very tightly contested second place in the B final while the 'Bibs' U10 team of Jodie, Katie, Jasmine and Orla also came in a very exciting 2nd place  in their B final. The A U10 team of Lily, Lucy, Pippa and Conor made it through to the A final and finished in 6th place.

Long before dawn on the Saturday morning the rain began to torrent down, but thankfully  it began to clear just as people began arriving at We had nearly 80 riders on the beach. The day started with groups walking, trotting, cantering and even galloping down the length of the beach. Two groups at a time competed in “Irelands Fittest Pony Clubber”, an obstacle course for both pony and rider that proved to be great fun. We then had a quick stop for a picnic lunch followed by “Ride through ice cream” for riders, siblings and ad*lts. This was followed by more games and riding in the sea. Ponies were then boxed up and the craic continued with a treasure hunt for the youngest members. Many of the members took to the sea in a variety of costumes from full riding gear to shorts, followed by tug of war and the customary water fight. Pictures attached tell the tale.  Laurel and Hardy Auctioneers Ltd hosted a raffle and auction followed by a sumptuous BBQ and bouncing castle. After a long day everyone headed home, tired but happy after having had a great day.
