PONY Tales is sending best wishes and a speedy recovery to Irish Horse World’s hunting correspondent Dickie Power who is recovering at the Regional Hospital in Limerick after a fall from his trusty cob two weeks ago. Dickie was carrying out his normal farming duties when taking an unfortunate tumble. Dickie and his better half Catherine’s absence was notable at last weekend’s National Hound Show in Stradbally where they were missed.

The good news is Dickie reports that he is on the mend and hopes to be home to Killmalock and back on the farm very soon.
