Clonshire is again proud to be hosting a stage of the Hoofprints Interschools Showjumping League. This year the Clonshire date is Sunday October 31st and in the run up to the competition and during the midterm break, Dan will be holding training clinics for both teams and individuals.
This is a great oportunity to represent your school and you do not have to own your own horse or pony as you can hire one at the centre. It is a good idea if you are not a rider here at Clonshire and you are hiring a horse or pony that you come and ride the horse before the competition so that you can get used to its way of going.
For those of you interested in taking part, all you need to do is request a copy of the entry form from the office, fill it out, have your schools principal sign it and return it with the correct entry fee.
Dress code is simply your school jumper and shirt (tie if one is part of your uniform). You do not need a riding jacket. Jodhpurs, boots and your hat. Gloves are a good idea if you have a pair and remember to tie your hair up.
Last year Ciara, Lauren, Kate and Kelsey from the Crescent College Comprehensive school won the best turned out prize section as well as doing very well individually and as a team.
If you are not riding, you can always come and watch and support your school by cheering them on.
