RICHARD and Georgina Sheane went their separate ways on Saturday when it would appear that, in spite of leaving Cooley Farm for Finvoy at 4.30am, Richard had the less exhausting day as Georgina ran herself ragged looking after their children at the Irish Pony Club Festival in Barnadown.

Representing the Wicklow Branch, Ellie and Arthur were placed in the Under 10s’ lead rein mounted games competition – the better the result the more running that has to be done – while the trio of Cooley riders who went north were also well-pleased with their day, especially Katie O’Sullivan who won and finished second in the three-runner EI115 (Open).
