Aclare Horse & Pony Ride Out 2013
A sunny Saturday afternoon, saw a gathering of family & friends, to attend the annual Aclare Horse & Pony Ride Out in County Sligo. The ride had left for the road by the time I arrived, with two separate rides taking alternative routes to cater for novices and intermediates & advanced.
Caught the groups upon their return, so here are a few pics from the day. Greeted by smiling, though slightly sunburnt faces.

Olympic Saddlery Connaught Grand Prix League at River View Horse Show 2013
River View Horse Show 2013 hosted the fifth phase of the league. There was a great turnout of riders, with a total of 42 starters tackling the 1.35m course. Course design was by Padraic Corcoran and Charles Hanley, whose combined skills provided a challenging layout for all the competitors.
Twenty two made it through to the jump off, for the final round. The final round was exhilarating in that each rider who rode in usurped the previous riders position. And the final rider, Thomas O’Brien, had the skill and speed to bring home the competition, sweeping home in a time of 39.57sec.
Commentator Noel Coleman had spent the competition calling for a rider to bring the time under 40sec as there was a belief it could be done. Yes! It was possible, Thomas O’Brien riding Minnie Clover, proved it true. Almost akin to Roger Bannister and his four minute mile!
Here are a few pics from the day.
