TWO members of the Irish Pony Club, who won bursaries through last September’s IPC show jumping Classic in Coilóg Equestrian Centre, spent their recent mid-term break at the Army Equitation School in McKee Barracks, Dublin under the guidance of Lt Col Tom Freyne.

Patrick Gleeson (Scarteen Hunt Branch) and Edel Whyte (Co Longford Hunt Branch) reported that the “bursary allowed us to get an insight into the high standards of training and management within McKee Barracks. We received an excellent week of training both on horseback and in stable management.”
