Sixteen-year-old Emma, who won the CNCP** at Lisgarvan last Sunday, hopes to continue eventing when she moves out of ponies at the end of this season. Emma rides the Connemara Laburnum Ineer who was sourced for her by her uncle and cross-country coach, racehorse trainer Aidan Kennedy.

Andrew has done a small bit of eventing and took over from Emma last year on the well-known Prince Zola.

However, the 15-year-old has now decided to move into pony racing and has his own runner to train for the summer season.

Tetrathlon enthusiast Louise (13) represented Ireland in Wales last year and hopes to be on the team competing in England this summer while 11-year-old Charlie has a similar interest but competes in minimus events.
