The Irish Quarter Horse Association Limited

The dates are the 21st and 22nd of July 2012. The place is Cochise Stud at Birr in Co. Offally.  This is an AQHA event where points will be awarded and it will be judged by an AQHA judge.  It is for Novice and Amateur riders only.  This is a great way to learn the basics on day one and compete on day two.  Contact Derek O’Byrne White on 086 083 0267 for further details.

Following an application by the IQHA last year,  Ireland was one of the few International Affiliates chosen by the AQHA to host an International Horsemanship Camp.  This is not to be missed.  There will be four very qualified  Students from the University of Wyoming in  America who have been hand picked to act as instructors.   This year at the AQHA Convention in Las Vegas  there was a superb video that showed the quality instruction given to European and  South American Affiliates.  The dates are confirmed for July 25th to 28th 2012 at Drumcoura, Ballinamore, Co. Leitrim.
