THIRTY-EIGHT national events were staged in Ireland during 2019, starting with the first of four fixtures running under the Lightsource BP banner at Tyrella, Co Down on Saturday, March 23rd and ending with the second of two one-days at the new Eventing Ireland venue of Hillcrest in Co Limerick on Sunday, October 6th.

The season concluded a month earlier in the Northern Region where they very much missed Kircubbin following the sale early this year of their farm by the O’Flynn family, who have remained involved with the sport. The popular venue on the Ards Peninsula had hosted three one-day events in 2018 and four the previous year while also catering for Pony Club and Riding Club activities.
