WELL-known Saintfield-based working hunter rider and coach Toni Donnelly knows all about the thrill of qualifying for and competing at the Horse of the Year Show, having done so on four occasions.

Keen that others from all walks of life in this country have the same opportunity, she is now working in conjunction with The Showing Register.

The British organisation assists people with all aspects of showing their horse or pony by holding clinics where they utilise their Training Pathway which is open to amateur riders from eight years of age upwards.

With Toni now on the TSR coaching and talent spotter panel, riders throughout the island of Ireland will also have the opportunity to be part of the TSR Training Pathway working towards the TSR Master Class at this year’s HOYS.

Check out the organisation’s website and Toni’s Facebook page (White Cottage Stables) for further information.
