This is a phicture of Denise Conway, Emily McGorran and Laura Carey who are with us most Saturdays for Day Camp. This was taken last Saturday after their first time in Dans lesson. This is a big move up in levels for them and they all did great. Denise rode Tristan, Emily rode Sparkie, and Laure rode FLUFF! They went out after the lesson finsihed and measured how high they had jumped and it was a whopping 96cms. Fluff jumped around 90cms and had to call it a day as his cute little legs were just too short, I know how that feels:)

Team Clonshire
Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010
This is a new heading and one you are hopefully going to see alot of !
Any of our riders, livery owners and riding club memebers who are out competing both on their own and school horses will be kept up to date with on our blog under this heading.
Today Team Clonshire were out in force headed by Sue Foley. They were out with the County Limerick Foxhounds to make both the riders and horses braver and to let them all have some fun. The best way to get junior and amature event riders and their horses ready for the season is to have a couple of days hunting.
Sue rode out on Kelso from the school yard and Neringa took Bruce Basheers TK. Bruce offered Neringa TK for the day as it is going to be her last chance to ride him as she is going back home to Lithuania and as TK has always been her favourite, it was very nice of Bruce to give him to her. TK looked great and was surprisingly calm! Olivia Downes was also out on her horse Dollar – it was the first time Dollar went hunting and he came home minus this back shoes but safe and very happy. Olivia had a great day. Clodagh was out on Sienna, another first and Lydia Foley took out her eventing pony Robbie for a bit of fun.

Andrea and Guinness
This is Andrea from Spain who is living at the centre and improving her riding skills as well as her English. Andrea is taking part in our immersion program. This is where secondary school students come and live with us and go to one of the excellent schools in the area. Andrea is like part of the family and Beanz follows her around like she does Alice!
This program is great if you love horses, want to get a feel for living in another country and become fluent in English. It is a great way to spend your transition or gap years as you dont miss out on important grades. Living with the Foley family and riding at the centre as often as you wish as well as going to competitions, heaven for pony mad girls or boys!
The only downside is that we all become so attached to our long term guests that we miss them terribly when they go back home.
