St. Patrick’s Coast FEI Endurance Ride

THE IRISH Long Distance Riding Association (ILDRA) is organising an all new event for 2014. Downpatrick Racecourse in Co. Down will be the venue for an FEI 1* and 2* (with Young Rider Classes as well) on 26th April 2014.

The planned route will take in a large loop of country from the racecourse to the shore at Tyrella, Ballykinler and St. John’s Point offering a new and fantastic ride experience for many.

The event will be a festival of Endurance featuring not just top riders form Ireland and abroad but also National classes and championships and Qualifiers for other Endurance events including the Pony Club and British Riding Clubs Team event.

There will be more information available soon and a dedicated web site is currently under development – so watch this space and the ILDRA Facebook page for more information.
