Est. 1999Border Counties Riding Club
An AIRC-affiliated riding club based at Cloncaw Equestrian in Glaslough, competing and training together across dressage, show jumping, cross country and horse trials — and just as at home on a leisurely social ride.
A riding club for the border counties, for over 25 years
Border Counties Riding Club was founded in 1999 and is based at Cloncaw Equestrian in Glaslough, Co. Monaghan. We're proudly affiliated to the Association of Irish Riding Clubs (AIRC), competing in regional and national competitions in our club colours of navy and gold.
Whether you're chasing a place on a regional team or just want good company on a Sunday hack, there's a place for you here. Membership is open to riders of all levels — and to non-riding members who simply want to be part of the club.
Six ways to get involved
From competitive eventing to a relaxed hack out, our club calendar covers every kind of rider.
Dressage
Flatwork training and club dressage outings for riders working on accuracy and partnership with their horse.
Show Jumping
Club nights and competitions over show jumping courses, building confidence from poles to bigger tracks.
Cross Country
Cross country jumping sessions out on real terrain, developing bold, rhythmical riding across fixed fences.
Horse Trials
Eventing at regional and national level, combining dressage, show jumping and cross country in one test.
Training & Clinics
Coached sessions with our club professional and visiting trainers, open to members at every stage.
Leisure & Social
Hacks, socials and non-competitive outings for members who ride for the love of it — or don't ride at all.
