The Association of Irish Riding Clubs has launched a major redesign of its website. The new site aims to bring a fresher, more modern and more adaptable approach to presenting its content. It includes new areas such as how to get involved and also more accessible information about registered horses. A number of new features will be rolled out shortly including a fresh new format for the events calendar which will display more relevant content in a more user friendly manner. It has been more than three since its last redesign and with this new one it is hoped the design will make it easier for users to find the relevant information quicker but also discover new sections.

NE Region SJ League - 1st Leg Kernans Equestrian Centre, Crossmaglen was the venue for the 1st leg of the 2010 North Eastern Region Showjumping League, last Sunday 31st January. Although the frosty roads did deter some competitiors there was a great turnout for this leg. Our members were out in force and they didn't let the club down! In the hotly contested Intermediate League Class our very own Jim Brown secured 1st place with a superb double clear round and having the fastest speed section of the day. Our other competitors in this class was Meredith, Louise, Hilary and David who were all unfortunate to have faults in the first round.

Well done to Evanne McKenna and Bella who won the Primary Combined Training Competition last Sunday 18th August at the National Dressage Championships. horse trials championship Five competing members (and a few hangers on) made the journey to Annaharvey Equestrian Centre for the AIRC Horse Trials Championships. The dressage for all competitors was consistant with everybody performing well on the good ground. The showjumping phase went well for most, with Meredith, George and Paul jumping clear in their Intermediate sections, Geralding had an uncharacteristic 12 faults and Dawn picked up 4 faults in the Advanced Inter class. But it was the interesting cross country course that left its toll on our members. Dawn (or rather MJ!) had issues with the Trakaener at fence 6, and only Geraldine and George went clear of our Intermediate riders. So well done George who was the only member who finished on their dressage score and managed to finish 8th overall in his very competitive Intermediate section. Disappointments put aside by the barbeque and craic after the cross country!! See photos on our gallery page and by Rosaleen Maguire at the following link: lakelands jump cross, sunday 16th august There was loads of Castle Leslie support for the Lakelands Club who hosted their second annual jump cross at Cootehill. We had Sarah, Pamela, Barbara and Dawn all competing at the Advanced Intermediate level and unfortunately the AI course beat them all this time round!! However all of the horses and riders in this class got around (by hell or high water) the tough XC course and are determined to do better next year..... The Club had better luck in the Intermediate Classes where Geraldine Reilly and Levi took first place and George Anderson and Penny took 5th which is a great achievement in a class which is always very competitive. Enda and Archie had a great run in the Advanced Primary class and finished up 6th place overall in this class. The ribbons didn't stop there with Evanne McKenna claiming top spot in the Primary Class. Check out all the action on the gallery page! mosstown ode, 2nd august Congratulations to George Anderson on Penny who finished 5th in his Intermediate Section at the Mosstown ODE held at Corbeag House, Longford last Sunday.

It was second again for this pairing in the Primary League Class so they are well placed going to the Final in Castlehill this Sunday. Here comes the boys!! was the order of the day for the Intermediate Class, with plenty of rivalry between our male riders.

2nd leg results - killossery 22nd february Only 4 members making the trip to Killossery Lodge last Sunday. The show attracted record numbers for any leg of the league and the organisers were kept busy all day. Evanne McKenna was successfull in the Primary Starter Stakes to take top honours but two fences down in the league left her unplaced. Enda McKenna riding Archie also had faults in his Advanced Primary Class but is looking foward to competing on home turf this Sunday. Fortunes were reversd in the Intermediate Class with Jim Brown sorching round on Jack to secure first place while David Breakey had an unfortunate 4 faults in the first round to leave him unplaced. Let's look forward to a big turnout of club members for our leg this Sunday 1st March. 1st leg ne region sj league - kernans 1st Leg of NE Region Showjumping League With very frosty conditions the day before in Kernans Equestrian Centre, and snow on the morning of the competition, giving way to lovely sunshine all day, it was also a mixed bag of results for the club in the first leg of the NE Region Showjumping League. We got off to a very good start with the very consistant Evanne McKenna coming 2nd in the Primary Class on Bella. Her better half Enda was right on the time for the Advanced Primary Class on Archie but an unfortunate fence down in the second round left him unplaced in what was a very competitive class. Samantha Johns had two lovely clear rounds in the Intermediate B/Green Horse class which gave her and Havanna their first red rosette of the year!! The first of many for this new partnership we hope!! We had an all male star cast in the Intermediate class at Kernans, with Meredith Jackson being first to jump for the club. A lovely display of jumping from Fernhill Atlantic Dancer but an unusual fence down in the jump-off round left him unplaced. A very nervous Jeremy Herron riding his new mount Fernhill Nollaig gave great vocal encouragement to his horse on the way round and it surely paid off with a double clear round. Unfortunately his time wasn't fast enough to get placed in what is always a very competitive Intermediate competition. Jim Brown riding his very consistant horse Jack was unlucky to have fence 3 down in the first round, but better luck next time. However it was our very own David Breakey who got the biggest vocal encouragement from all club members as he and his horse Estelle powered their way round the Intermediate course with a great jump-off time, which eventually left them in 2nd place overall!!! Well done!! With only two members jumping in the Advanced Intermediate Class, it was unfortunate that both Barbara Johns on Woody Allen and Dawn Clerkin riding The Sailors Girl both had 8 faults in their first rounds, but with both horses jumping well. Better luck next time!! Well done to all our members and see you at the next leg at Cloncaw Equestrian Centre, Glaslough on 8th February!! heather nominated for secretary of the year There are four categories of awards on offer including the club of the year, club secretary of the year, club member of the year and also the person of the year award.
