THOSE Area 17 members who didn’t qualify for the eventing championships at Offchurch Bury can see out their 2026 campaign on Saturday next, August 29th, at Laurel View where the Home Championships are being run by the Mid Antrim Branch.

Looking further ahead, and to an evening out of the saddle, we see that the East Down Branch is to celebrate its 90th anniversary with a fun family formal at Downpatrick racecourse on Saturday, October 3rd. Past and present members are invited to celebrate together.
