Glandoran 2 cancelled

THE second Eventing Ireland fixture scheduled to run at Glandoran in Co Wexford on August 23rd has been cancelled due to lack of entries. Just over 100 entries were received for the competition, which organisers said was insufficient to cover the cost of watering and spiking on top of the normal financial outgoings involved in running an event. Entries will be refunded to the credit card from which they were made.

A SECOND fixture at Kilguilkey House in Co Cork has been added to the Eventing Ireland calendar in the wake of several cancellations. It will run on September 6th and will include classes from EI90 to EI115 (Open). Entries can be made through the Eventing Ireland website.
