THE Shillelagh Hunt Branch of the Irish Pony Club held their Connolly’s Red Mills eventing qualifier last Sunday when, once again, they were able to use the Coolboy grounds of the local Tinahely Riding Club.

There was a great atmosphere on a lovely summer’s day, but some new fences on the cross-country course caused a few problems. Over the seven classes, only three of those who led after dressage topped their leaderboards at the close of play.
