Steve Halfpenny Silversand clinics
Last year Steve and Irena came to Tipperary and Dublin and we all learned a huge amount at their clinics. Full report with pictures here. You don’t need to be at any specific level to ride, or have done any courses like this before. You’re actually at an advantage if you’re new to this or a novice rider, as you’ll have less things to ‘unlearn’! We had an absolute ball at the 2009 clinics, so can’t wait for the Aussies to return! Below are the date & locations. Stabling is available at each venue for a limited numbers of horses at €15 per night, shavings & hay included. If you’ve any questions, email the office, write to Elaine Heney, Irish Horsemanship, Grove, Kilfeacle, Tipperary or tel 087 2877605. Download the 2010 Silversand booking form here.
