THERE was an international flavour to last weekend’s Holmestead Saddlery Irish Pony Club minimus championships with two IPC teams being challenged by two squads from Northern Ireland and one from Scotland.

As other Pony Club organisations have a shoot phase in minimus, one was held off campus last weekend when Scotland’s Isobel MacTaggart topped the scoring on 980 points, ahead of Ireland Gold’s Emily Martin and Ireland Green’s Ellie Filan who were on 960 apiece.
