Training will be divided into 2 parts. U12's will be trained by the wonderful Gemma Ferrer and dates have been confirmed and are soon available for booking on itsplainsailing. Last year we had great interest and a fabulous festival with all of the younger members really improving their show jumping skills.
Dates are the 18th of June, during camp, 25th of June, 9th of July. It is important for kids who wish to be selected for teams to try attend a minimum of 2 training sessions to allow the selectors to pick fair teams and to give all members the best opportunities.
Our Robbie Bailey and Jon Ledingham hopefuls will train together under the guidance of Marc Davern, dates for this 27th of June and 4th and 11th of July. The rules for entry are slightly changed this year. It is very important that all members and their parents are familiar with the rule book particularly re eligibility to jump. The rule book is attached here and is also available on the Irish Pony Club website.
Please look at the timetable below and ensure that you are available for your chosen discipline. Of course members not participating at competition can do training but must make it clear if they are not intending to travel to the festival.
