FEHL QUALIFIERS AND TRAINING DAY RETURN TO BALLYGRAFFAN

The dates have been announced for the Future Event Horse League (FEHL) Qualifier and Training Day at Ballygraffan.

For the second successive year, Ballygraffan will be hosting the Northern Qualifier for the FEHL. The competition is open to 4 and 5 year old Irish bred horses and will take place on Wednesday 23rd July and it will also be one of the qualifiers for the popular Young Event Horse Class at RDS in August.

Now in its 9th year, the FEHL is a catalyst for the identification, production and promotion of the best Irish bred horses that might compete on the world stage in Eventing.

Towards this aim, a Training Day will take place at Ballygraffan on Tuesday, 15th JULY offering a chance for competitors to prepare and train their young horses under expert guidance. The legendary Tommy Brennan will take the jumping training and Yvette Truesdale will offer her experience of ground work dressage training for the young horses. It is an ideal opportunity to learn from experts and to acquaint your horse with the type of fences they are likely to encounter at the qualifier.

Places for the Qualifier and the Training Day must be booked in advance and further details of the FEHL are available on www.fehl-ie.com or by phoning Maria Klange-Lynch on 00353 87 925 1716.
