IN common with the other disciplines run under the banner of the Irish Pony Club, the Mounted Games Committee published the dates and venues of their main national competitions this week (see pages 80-81).

On the home front, the senior finals at the Dublin Horse Show (August 6th to 10th) attract the largest crowds, but there will also be good support for Branch teams at the qualifiers in Gorey (June 21st), Charleville (June 28th), Lalors in Laois (July 6th) and Carnew (July 19th).

In addition, the committee also listed the dates of their spring international trials days at Barnadown (on Sunday, February 16th and Sunday, February 23rd).

There will be subsequent trips abroad to Windsor (May 15th to 18th), Wales (May 17th and 18th), Bath & West (May 29th to 31st) and Scotland (May 31st and June 1st).
