THE second Allianz Starfinder of the Future qualifier was held at Ard Chuain EC last Sunday in conjunction with the Pony Premier league. As Ireland is known as a pony-producing nation, this competition continues to attract and develop some of the top six and seven-year-old 148cms ponies in the country.

With 17 combinations starting in the six-year-old division and 16 in the seven-year-olds, it was fitting that the top six placings were divided 50:50 between the age divisions.
