Point to Points in Ireland

The season for point-to-point is January through May when there are about ninety days of racing throughout the country. Most racing takes place on Sunday and, during those months, there would usually be at least one convenient to Glenlohane. As a fact of interest, the first steeplechase took place nearby, 250 years ago when two members of the Duhallow Hunt raced their horses across country from the steeple in Doneraile to the steeple in Buttevant - hence a race over fences is now called a 'Steeplechase'.
