Congratulations to Amy McDonald a Fifth Year student, who recently won the Open and Advanced Open Division Championship at the Connolly’s Red Mills sponsored National Hunter Trials Championships at Annaharvey Farm, Co. Offaly. Amy’s time of 5’36 was unbeatable after her horse, Madges Lane Jinxy, stopped the clock exactly on the target to claim the winning title.

Amy along with other students from Presentation are actively involved with the School’s Equestrian Society, run by Ms Kelly. They have competed in the Inter-schools show jumping league, ridden out on lots of Charity Rides, gone on early morning beach rides and last year they surprised the young boys and girls, from Ashling Nolans’ Clarville Montessori School, with pony rides.
