THE final Area competition of 2021 for Area 17 of The Pony Club (Northern Ireland) was hosted by the Iveagh Branch last Saturday at The Meadows Equestrian Centre where the largest entry for many years was received for the pure dressage.

Disappointed not to have qualified for The Pony Club eventing championships, Claire Ireland bounced back to land the Open for North Down with Mission Ambition (70.2%) on whom she recently won the EI80 (T) at Tullymurry for the second year running.
