THE Wexford Hunt Branch of the Irish Pony Club hosted the second of this year’s Connolly’s Red Mills eventing championships qualifiers last Sunday at the Foxhounds’ kennels in Ballinaboola.

Eight dressage arenas were used to cater for the large entry while Michael Doyle had to build tracks in two show jumping rings. Coming so early in the season, the technical cross-country track proved very influential with some competitors coping well with the challenge, thus bagging a qualifying ticket, while others disappointingly didn’t.
