THE Winter Stars Tour was launched at the Meadows Equestrian Centre, Lurgan over the weekend of August 27 and 28, in conjunction with the Youngster Tour Grand Finals. A large entry turned out for the return of the hugely popular Winter Stars Tour, that is continuing on from the Five Stars Tour summer series.
There was €5,000 on offer over the weekend plus fabulous rugs from Brook Vet Clinic and Mountfield Kitchens.
Going forward, the Winter Stars Tour will now be open to ALL equestrians, with a big link to grassroots riders, producers, breeders and owners. The Winter Stars Tour classes will run on the international entry App, Equipe and you do not need any other Association registration to compete.
There will be a print out of your results available if you wish – just input your passport details and your record is secure!
There are also two new additions to the Winter Stars Tour line up: The Baby Stars Tour and The Pony Stars Tour.
The Baby Stars Tour is NEW for the Winter Stars starting soon and Five Stars Tours for 2023!
