Tinahely Riding Clubs facility at Coolboy, Co. Wicklow is ideal for schooling incorporating as it does a floodlit sand arena, full cross country course, dressage arena, practice area, and ample room to park your rig. Mandy Hayden visits the grounds regularly to school Cloon-Dara her five year old 15.2 connemara with a view to qualifying for the “Connemara Performance Hunter” class at the Royal Dublin Horse Show in August.
After some flat work to warm up Mandy then proceeded to put in a few jumps.
Cloon-Dara although young is improving all the time and has no problem entering the water.
Or exiting either.
Roll on the Barntown, Co. Wexford qualifier this coming Wednesday.
