Seeing as the competition season is now getting up and running again, I thought it might be an idea to start an 'upcoming events' thread so we can let each other know what competitions are being held and where.

The hunter trial season is normally in September/October and March/April so I don't know if there'll be many cross country competitions during the summer (apart from eventing).

cookerj

Hi again, where can I find dates and locations for the upcoming hunter trial season? Thanks

MDFM

Check out the irish field every sat, there's always listings and advertisements in it of forthcoming events.

Hi cookerj, not sure if you're interested in cross country rides, but if you are there's one on this Sunday. It's Ballymacad Hunt cross-country ride, Oldcastle, Co Meath.


Also, I'm assuming North Down would be too far for you to travel for hunter trials? There's one on in Millbank, Co Down on Saturday.
