TWO very successful and well attended evenings were held during February at Ballylanigan Equestrian Education Centre, the home of Peter and Faith Ponsonby.

The first evening was focused on preparing for and running a horse trials/event. Presentations were given by Peter and Faith on the administration and stewarding of horse trials, while Betsy O’Connor gave a very insightful presentation on scoring.

The second evening was about preparing for the eventing season. Fraser Duffy spoke about getting the horse prepared and much was learned by the 30 attendees from his very interesting presentation.

Peter and Faith gave talks about preparing the rider and stewarding issues at horse trials.
