West Waterford Hunt Branch of the Irish Pony Club

Please see the Irish Pony Club Horse Trials Page for general information on Horse Trials.

Quite a few of our members are now eventing, which means they participate in Horse Trials, also known as One Day Events. Since Horse Trials combine the three disciplines of dressage, show jumping and cross country riding, the training is done in the rallies for the various disciplines.

Juniors and above can qualify for the IPC Horse Trials Championships and several of our members have done this over the last few years. In 2010 we were particularly successful with our junior team placing and all of our individual and team participants in the championships coming back with at least one rosette.

There are no U12 Championships but our U12s have also competed very successfully over the last few years, winning and placing in quite a few Horse Trials.
