Ireland XC & One Day Event Trip
Inquire for dates
Join for a week of Eventing training that ends with a fun and friendly one day Eventing competition!
You will have 4 days to train for the one day event with classes touching on each of the 3 disciplines! Your XC training will be over a vast territory with over 150 fences; a mixture of natural logs, drops, bush fences, banks, ditches, stone walls and a huge variety of man made obstacle with most of the fences including 2 or more height options to suit different abilities. With around 70 well trained Irish horses available, there is a range of horses to suit and accommodate rider levels and trainers will work with you to improve your skills and techniques for the competition on August 24th!
You will ride amongst other Flowerhill and local Irish riders in this exciting and friendly competition. The course will open for walking the day before so you and other MRC riders can prepare together for the event! At the event there will be food trucks and spectators, making for a really fun and exciting day out!

While not riding, take an evening trip to visit the charming harbour city of Galway, known for its robust busking and local shopping. You can also enjoy great restaurants, pubs and music in one of Irelands most loved areas.
