AFTER a long break, Donard Glen Equestrian Club were back out in force last Sunday for their June ride out. Despite social distancing rules being put in place for the ride, fun was had by all of the 50 combinations that set off from the village of Donard, in Co Wicklow.

Running over local farmland and forestry, the ride ran for approximately three hours and had a mixture of riders from novice to experience. With jumps being optional on the day, every level was catered for. With organisers following the current HSE guidelines, pre-booking was essential and only 50 combinations were permitted to join. In booking their place, riders received a confirmation number which they had to produce on the day.
