At the beginning of the new millennium, we were invited to run a Munster Qualifier
for the Future Event Horse League -
The track contains a variety of natural and inviting fences including banks, ditches, logs and water complexes. We also have a wide range of portable cross country fences, all designed and manufactured by Nicky Kelly of Bantry based “Fillers and Fences.”
Our annual Qualifier usually takes it’s place at the start of the F.E.H.L. calendar. In 2010 we host an FEHL training day on Tuesday 25th May with the Qualifier taking place 2 weeks afterwards on the 9th June.
Apart from this, Scarteen also plays host to several schooling days, residential camps, young rider and Pony Club competitions.
The derby track is available for individual or group training and schooling sessions but only by prior arrangement. Contact us to find out more.
