BEAUTIFUL sunshine with a chill in the air greeted riders for the Irish Pony Society Spring Show which was held in Raheen Na Gun last Saturday. Ger O’Brien and his team at Raheen Na Gun efficiently built tracks and set up two very inviting courses for the riders and were on hand all day. With over 60 classes, there was lots to entertain the spectators.

The largest classes of the day were in the mini classes with lots of small beautifully turned out ponies and riders walking away with colourful rosettes. Chloe Salley riding Margaret Miller’s Goldengrove Sunshine was both Show Hunter Champion and Part-Bred Champion. James Kelly’s Rookery Haribo, ridden by Jack Kelly, also had a great day winning the Mini Show Hunter and the M&M Ridden Championship.
