The 2022 Ballindenisk Spring International – all set to go

The first Irish international of 2022 kicks off next week with  the Ballindenisk Spring International, hosted by the Fell family at Watergrasshill, Co. Cork. Eleven nations will be represented this year at the Ballindenisk venue, so a big change since the restrictions that were in place during the pandemic.  It will also be a welcome change to see that spectators and trade stands are once again welcome  and entrance to the event costs just €10 per car.  In total there are 231 entries, so well worth a trip to see the action next week.

The cross country runs over two days, with the CCI4*L, the CCI3*L and the CCI2*L taking place on Saturday. The CCI4*S,  CCI3*S, CCI2*S, CCI2*(Ponies) and the CCI1*-Intro, all running on Sunday.
