THE two largest Pony Club branches on the island, the Iveaghs and the Kildares, have been very busy of late and both opened their doors to other Pony Club members last weekend.

The Kildares had a busy two days at Punchestown. On Saturday, they ran a mini training one-day event which attracted a large number of local riders as well as those from the Louth, Clare, Mid Co Galway, Carlow, Bray, Westmeath and South Westmeath Branches.
