LAST week the British Show Pony Society (BSPS) hosted their Summer Championship show at Arena UK.

It has always been a popular week for Irish ponies and their riders to travel to Grantham and compete against the best of the British and this year was no exception. A count of over 36 ponies and 14 families made the trip, travelling in groups on the same ferries and setting up camp together where the children played with friends new and old.
