IRELAND’s talented pony riders were at their brilliant best when winning the Nations Cup in Odense, Denmark, on a zero penalty score ahead of the home side in second on 12 penalties.

The Irish Under 16s squad of Adam Carey (Stakkati), Sean Monaghan (Orchids Vienna); Kayleigh Soden (Castle Hill King) and Abbie Sweetnam (Dynamite Spartacus) were in fantastic form, each jumping a clear round to end on an incredible zero score.
