💙💛Next up in our AIRC Festival Rider & Horse Profile series is Amy Casey and Princess (AKA Chaz)! 💛💙

This will be Amy’s first time competing at the AIRC Festival, and she’s looking forward to taking part in the Team Event this weekend in Mullingar.

Princess is very much the boss of the yard and, much like her fellow Clonlara festival teammate Porsha, is never far away when carrots are on offer! 🥕😂

Amy and Princess have been preparing with local shows, group lessons and practice at home.

When asked what she loves most about Clonlara Riding Club, Amy said:

“The group of friends – everyone really looks out for one another out and about. It’s very welcoming.” 💙💛

We wish Amy and Princess the very best of luck this weekend. Have a fantastic first Festival experience and enjoy every minute of it!

🐎💙💛 Next up in our AIRC Riding Club Festival Rider & Horse Profile Series is Aisling Carmody and Porsha! 💙💛🐎

Aisling and Porsha will be representing Clonlara Riding Club at this year’s AIRC Festival in Mullingar, and we can’t wait to follow their journey over the weekend.

This will be Aisling’s first time competing at the Festival and she’s especially looking forward to the Team Showjumping, while also keeping an eye on the Handy Horse class. 👀

Together they’ve been busy preparing through training sessions, lessons and competition outings, making sure Porsha is looking and feeling her very best for the big weekend.

One thing we know for sure if there are carrots around, Porsha will be happy! 🥕😁

A special shout out also goes to Aoife, Aisling’s sister, who is always there to lend a hand, offer support and cheer them on every step of the way. Having a great support crew behind you makes all the difference and Aoife is certainly part of Team Porsha! 💙👏

Best of luck to Aisling and Porsha from everyone at Clonlara Riding Club. We look forward to cheering you on in Mullingar! 💙💛
