THE Irish Pony Society held their annual awards celebration at the Killashee Hotel, Naas, last Sunday. There was a very large turnout with over 210 members in attendance to celebrate the achievements of members in the 2019 season. Members from the eight IPS regions – Cork, Kildare/North Leinster, Limerick/Clare, Northern, South Leinster/Waterford, Tipperary and Wicklow and the Western Area – were all in attendance and enjoyed the relaxed party atmosphere.

Entertainment took a new format this year with a balloon artist creating balloon animals, crowns and swords for all the children. The photo booth with its array of costumes had adults and children striking poses all evening.
