Special Olympics news.

This year has been fairly quiet on the local front as it was a season for fun games and development events. Most regions ran trail ride events for all ability levels and these were well attended and proved very popular with the riders.

Festina Lente in the East Region ran a development day for dressage and had 22 riders taking part. This was a good exercise for those who had never done dressage before.

Training is ongoing for Shanghai and some residential weekend training sessions have been held. This is good as it allows coaches and chaperones to get to know the quirks of the team members in all situations. There are only a few more sessions to go before the departure date arrives so it is becoming intense at Baltinglass on these occasions.

A big vote of thanks is due to the KARE centre in Baltinglass for the use of the venue for training as centres are not easy to find at weekends. The team there are very dedicated and do a great job in turning out the horses.

We wish the ten riders a great trip and success, but above all have a great time!
