August. 4th-8th.
The week of the RDS horse show was a very busy one with several of our riders competing there and also our two ponies corkey and clamper who were stabled in there for the week, doing pony rides in the RDS. They could be found beside the bouncing castles in the kids zone.

8th-Our team of 4 riders competed in simmonscourt on the Sunday and out of the 9 teams we were the only team where all 4 riders got double clears.
No result needed to be discarded.

With only two teams in the jump off, one being us, it was down to Sean on Zara to win it for the team and he did.
Well done to the team who won the national team show jumping championships for 2010.It was a huge achievement for the centre.

The team comprised of Sean Kavanagh on Zara, Rachel Stafford on Kilpatrick Fred, Nicola Stafford on Mid west rambler and Stephen Holland on Zandor.
A huge thanks also to everyone who helped out on the day with the preparation, it was definitely a carton team effort!!!
