IRISH pony riders had a very successful trip to the Scottish Home Pony International at the Morris EC on the outskirts of Kilmarnock, following on from a brilliant run of results the previous week at Wales and West.

The Irish 128cms team of Victoria Thompson (Sparkling Mr Tigger), Karla O’Donnell (Dawns Little Princess), Sophie Doherty (Emerald Lucky) and Alex Finney (Ballyknock Master Roan) finished the first round on a zero score. With the fences raised for the second round, the Irish remained on a clean sheet alongside England, with a jump-off required to decide the winners.
