Have you got your ticket yet for RDA East Antrim Pleasure Hack?
Fundraising ride at Shane's Castle Estate running this Sunday
Excitement is mounting, with just two days to go until Sunday’s RDA East Antrim Pleasure Hack at Shane’s Castle Estate, Antrim. There are still some tickets left, especially for the earlier time slot. The weather is looking a little colder at 14 degrees and hopefully will remain dry - an autumnal day, so wrap up warm.
This is a fantastic opportunity to ride the off-road tracks surrounding Shane’s Castle Estate, for which organisers are so thankful to Lord O’Neill. If you haven’t got your tickets yet, click on this link.
Have a sneak peek at the venue and some of the route by clicking on the play arrow on the above video!
Non-riders, friends and family are also welcome to come along and have a cuppa and partake in the super ballot.
Goodie bags are amazing: HY Equestrian including HY shampoos; samples from Baileys Horse Feeds and Leucillin Animal Skincare Samples.

Following your hack around the beautiful surroundings of Shane’s Castle Estate, please come and relax in the cafe with friends over a cup of tea or coffee, with scones kindly provided by Jackson’s, Ballynure and the sponsor NFU Mutual.
Also don’t forget when you register on arrival to pick up some ballot tickets for the amazing array of prizes!

Our supportive riders have learned over the past six years that RDA East Antrim run a super day out, which cannot happen without the help of the enthusiastic volunteers, who will be out in force around the six-mile track - please take time to stop and say hello!
All funds raised from the ride, finance the RDA group to run in the year ahead. Without these funds, the group would not be able to enhance the lives of all the kids from Hillcroft and Thornfield Schools, who join them on Mondays throughout their school year at Laurel View Equestrian Centre.
I’m all booked!
