THERE is plenty to look forward to in the next few weeks for members of the Irish Pony Club on a national level.

The IPC/Connolly’s Red Mills eventing championships take place next weekend, August 28th and 29th, at Tattersalls Ireland in Co Meath. Dressage and show jumping for all grades will be held on Saturday with Sunday being devoted to cross-country action.

Yellow ribbons, in memory of former member Tiggy Hancock, will be handed out to each competitor with their number at the eventing championships and riders are asked to wear them while competing. There will also be some available for a small donation to Tiggy’s Trust at the secretaries’ office over the weekend and there will be a donations bucket to contribute to Jigsaw, young people’s mental health services.
