THE committee of the Northern Ireland Carriage Driving Association are putting in the final preparations for the 2019 All Ireland Carriage Driving Championships which will be held in the beautiful parklands and grounds of Tynan Abbey.

Supported by Armagh Banbridge & Craigavon Council among other sponsors, the event will be hosted from Saturday and Sunday, August 17th-18th next. All are welcome to Saturday’s events which includes the dressage and cones phase of the competition followed by the Whip & Collar Group hosting a show for private driving classes. The Abbey grounds are open to the public to visit. Sunday sees the action turn to the Marathon phase of our competition with presentations taking place at 4.30pm.
