THERE is also a busy schedule of showing and, for the first time, pony classes at Mullingar International Show on June 4th next.

Organiser Vincent Holian said: “We are delighted to be running our international showing on June 4th next. It’s a very exciting weekend not only for our international show jumpers but also for all showing and working hunters. We have a huge range of classes from lead rein to the ever elegant side saddle, a super working hunter track for horses and ponies, hoping to qualify for Equifestival, the finals of which will be held in the same venue a few weeks later. This year, due to demand, we have added a new pony ring which we hope will be well supported with our large variety of classes. Postal entries close on Wednesday, June 1st but we will also take entries on the field. There are great facilities on site, easy parking and it’s a great family show with something for everyone from toddlers to professionals, we look forward to seeing everyone on the day.”
