THE show jumping section of the recent Irish Pony Club Festival at the Mullingar Equestrian Centre was sponsored by Mackey whose support, along with that of Champion Hats, is much appreciated by the organisers.

The first competition to run under the banner of the Co Wicklow-based company was Saturday’s Alice Mernagh Under 12s’ championship, which was jumped at 80cms. Alice, a former chairman of the IPC, presided over this competition which attracted just short of 130 members.
