Day Membership

A Day Membership is a temporary membership which effectively registers one horse/rider combination for a specific event. The cost of the day membership depends on whether the rider is a member of Eventing Ireland, or not. Each day membership is designated to a specific horse/rider combination and is not transferable. In the event of a forced withdrawal before the event closing date, the Day Membership and Entry fee will be refunded in full in the currency they were purchased.
