Well that was fun!..... We are so glad our friends in Victoria have FINALLY been let out of their stables! This year, I think it is safe to say we have completely written off, and we will see you all again in 2021! lol Only kidding!....sort of.... Our plans of a wonderful 2020 crashed and burned, but it did give us plenty of time to PLAN for 2021. We have wonderful ideas and works in the pipeline and we can't wait to share these with you. Some of our friends up North in QLD and over in WA, were lucky to see a few events go ahead, with Irish horses competing, placing and winning in eventing, jumping and dressage! Be sure to tag us in your achievement posts, so we can include these on our news feed. Our website and registration process is currently getting an overhaul. If there is one thing we have learnt this year, EVERYTHING can be done on the interwebs! So, we are making it virtually fool proof to submit all the details you need to pedigree register your Irish horse. Emails will be hitting inboxes, updating members (be sure to check the junk folder) over the coming days. Inspections for our studbook eligible horses will hopefully be kicking off in early 2021. If not in person, we will be coming up with neat ways to make sure these still happen. Even in these trying times, we have to get on with what we do best.....promoting and enjoying our wonderful breed! If there are any foals hitting the ground, or Irish horses coming onto the market, please don't hesitate to let us know. We love to help promote and share where we can. If you are selling your Irish horse, or have recently sold, make sure you post into the society the registration paperwork. PLEASE do NOT give it to the new owner. We will follow up with them, once you have filled in the transfer form and sent us the paperwork. Be sure to keep an eye on our Facebook and website for any updates, and as always, Ride Irish!
