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 Riding Club success At AIRC Autumn Leagues

The West Leinster region of riding clubs awarded prizes last week to combinations placed in the Autumn showjumping and dressage leagues.

We would like to say a huge congratulations to Dunbyrne Riding C|ub member Lynn Cadogan. Lynn and her black gelding Shooting Star Joe won the primary showjumping and dressage leagues. This was an incredible achievement especially given it was the first league Lynn has ever done.

Lynn a absolutely defines everything we aim to train at Dunbyrne - constant learning and development, hard work, dedication and a healthy attitude to competition.

Suzanne Conroy also did well in the riding club dressage league. Suzanne and her mare Tilly only joined Dunbyrne riding club this year and have come on so much in terms of confidence and ability. They took second place in the primary dressage league.

Anna Marie Curry and her mare Ely Pixie placed third in the intermediate league. This is always such a big and competitive class but their consistent performances earned them a podium finish.

In the showjumping Ciara Geraghty took third place in the sportsmans with her mare Flo. This was a brilliant result in what was their first ever league together. This is a new partnership and Ciara and Flo are proving to be a wonderful match.

Congratulations also to Myriam Bunter one of our liveries who placed second in the advanced intermediate dressage league with Star of Rubykan (aka Beau). Myriam joined us initially as a showjumper / eventer but she has absolutely caught the dressage bug since joining Dunbyrne and we are delighted to see her progressing in both riding club and Dressage Ireland.

Dunbyrne Riding Club is based at Dunbyrne Equestrian in Co. Kildare. We welcome like minded new members who like to enjoy their horses. To enquire, email dunbyrnestud@gmail.com
