Interschools Success for Dunbyrne
Summer Hall of Fame!
We have seen an incredible streak of successes by our liveries, riding club members and coaching clients this summer. From Dressage Ireland to riding club to pony club our riders of all ages have been so impressive.
Spruce Lodge Classic
This two day show saw great success for Lorna with her two horses. DBS Oisinn took third place in the medium championship with DBS Second Chance taking sixth.
In the freestyle dressage to music, DBS Oisinn won the elementary with 73% while DBS Second chance took first place in the medium with an amazing 74%
AIRC Championships
At the Association of Irish Riding Clubs Dressage Championships our little riding club really punched above it’s weight
Suzanne Conroy is the new P1 national champion. Suzanne and her horse Tilly won by over 10 percent after an incredible performance across two tests.
Myriam and Beau took fourth place in the Novice championships a great result in a very competitive class.
Rachel and Leo placed fifth in the P3 competition - the judges liked Leo as much as we do.
Lorna took third and fourth place in the medium championship with Sammy and Oisin.
Lynn and Joe competed in her first P2 championship with some super scores while Michelle and Star competed in the P2 class.
Our Dunbyrne Riding Club team took third place overall from a field of 18 teams. The team, made up of Suzanne, Lynn, Myriam and Lorna were thrilled with their podium finish.
Pony Club Qualifiers
Multi talented Sive and Ollie, already qualified for the pony club eventing championships decided to turn their hand to show jumping. They have qualified for the 1.10 show jumping championships on what was their first ever attempt at the height!
Leinster Dressage Summer League Final
Myriam and Beau had an incredible result at this league final. They took second place in the preliminary and novice league and also won the Treo Eile award for best TB in the preliminary and novice league. Incredible results from consistent performers.
Lynn did her first EVER Dressage Ireland competition. She did a fantastic job with black beauty Joe and got over 66% to win the unregistered preliminary. Lynn’s two daughters took first place in their trailblazer classes too which mean a lovely hat trick of three red rosettes for the family.
Lorna and Oisinn were third in the elementary league and she also took home second place in the medium league with Sammy.
Dunbyrne Stud Livery & coaching
We believe in managing happy horses through a daily and consistent routine. Our livery horses enjoy daily turnout, huge deep beds and good quality haylage and feed.
Our BHS and HSI qualified coaches use systematic training based on the FEI training scales to bring out the best in horses and riders of all levels.
Dunbyrne Dressage Dynamos!
This Spring has seen a hive of activity at Dunbyrne Equestrian livery yard and Dunbyrne Riding Club.
Our liveries and riding club members have been busy taking part in Dressage Ireland and AIRC competitions across all levels.
We love seeing our riders progressing through the levels from their first tests to riding at National Championships. We would like to share a celebrate some of our dressage milestones this year.
Myriam & Beau - from showjumpers to dressage super stars.
Myriam and Beau joined our yard as showjumpers. This is hard to believe now that they are known as our resident dressage unicorns! Myriams transition to dressage is a lovely example of how an ex racehorse can go on to thrive in a new role. From starting dressage last year at riding club this pair have gone from strength to strength through dedication and training. They were second in the Dressage Ireland National Winter finals and have just had a great weekend where they won their Dressage Ireland novice class and just found out that they have won the West Leinster Riding Club regions spring dressage league!
Georgia and Sapphire
Georgia and Sapphire attempted their first dressage test last year for an online competition. Sapphire had never done a test in her life and the goal was to stay in the arena! There were emotions and hard work to finish the test which scored sub 60% but which started them on their way.
Through sheer hard work, practice and systematic training Georgia has trained her pony to be a national champion. At the National Winter finals Georgia and Sapphire won their prelim trailblazer championship and took second in the novice. This is a huge achievement in just a year with much more to come. Most recently Georgia’s sister Grace rode in her first ever show at Dressage Ireland winning her intro class on an incredible 79% talent must run in the family!
Blanaid & Flame
Recently taken to the Dressage sphere Blanaid and Flame had enjoyed competing but struggles with moments of tension and a lack of accuracy affecting scores. Before their last show they under went a series of training sessions with one of our onsite coaches which included coaching on and offsite and competition warm up. They managed a much higher personal best score of over 71% and took third place their highest placing to date.
Lorna & Sammy
It’s hard to believe that Sammy was once a tearaway cob bought from a dealer and unsuitable for several roles! Over the years he has proven himself as a true all rounder. Sammy recently won the elementary and medium leagues at Leinster Dressage and placed in the medium championships at the Dressage Ireland WInter Finals. Yet another example of how horses can successfully change career.
We believe in a basic and consistent routine that horses thrive on.
We believe in systematic training using the FEI scales of training.
We are Dunbyrne Equestrian.

Both riders are looking forwards to the National championships now at Barnadown at the end of September.

Looking for Livery? Ten reasons to join #teamdunbyrnestud
Are you looking for livery? Here are ten reasons to join #teamdunbyrnestud on livery today :
We offer huge courtyard stables with deep warm shavings beds providing the ultimate comfort for your horse
We supply top quality haylage and feed twice a day as part of our full stabled livery package
Horses are turned out daily in individual paddocks with secure fencing. Horses are still relaxed as they can see other horses beside them and this turnout is much safer than group turnout especially when horses and ponies are wearing a full set of shoes.
Our yard owners live onsite so our opening hours are flexible. We never restrict our liveries with set hours so if you need to head off early morning somewhere or are running late from work there is no need to worry.
We have a huge livery arena (this is dedicated to liveries and is entirely separate from the onsite riding school). The size of our arena allows liveries to ride when our coaches are running lessons so there is no need to plan your riding around someone else’s lessons or arena bookings.
BHS and HSI qualified coaches onsite providing training at competitive rates
We are less than thirty minutes from JAG / Redhills / Greenogue / Emerald and just ten minutes from Coilog so Leinster competition venues are close by.
We have a heated rug room with storage for liveries. This is ideal on cold or damp days as you can hang up your rug while you ride so its nice and warm when it goes back on your horse.
We have a 4.5 furlong all weather sand gallops which is exclusively for our liveries to use. This leads on to our onsite wooded hacking trails and is ideal for hacking, fittening work, eventing preparation or even just a break from the arena.
We are lucky to have a lovely bunch of existing clients who are positive and enthusiastic. We enjoy taking part as a group in competing on and offsite and in social activities. Our liveries take part in a wealth of disciplines from eventing to dressage.
