THE Waterford/Tipperary Branch of the SJI held their Autumn Pony League Finals at Ballinamona Equestrian Centre last Sunday and what a spectacular day’s jumping these young athletes provided.

The main title sponsors – Equine Warehouse in Clonmel, Coolmore Stud and NutriScience/Mackey – were justifiably delighted with the fantastic finals on a lovely bright day after the devastating storms of the previous week. The nine winners’ sashes and top awards went to Gearoid Bolger, a double winner, Natasha Foley, Alexandra Hourigan, Ellen Power, Jack Kelly, Emma Byrne, Saoirse Curran and Olivia Shanahan.
