NOW in its sixth year, a large crowd of pony riders, their parents, supporters and friends gathered in the Mullingar Park Hotel last weekend to attend the Pony Show Jumping Awards Ball and celebrate the achievements of the past 12 months. The event, which was organised by Katy Saunders, the Pony Committee and Showjumping Ireland, was also a fundraiser for the popular Pony Premier League.
