THOSE competing in the Connolly’s Red Mills/Irish Pony Club Intro Intermediate, Junior, Intro Junior and Under 12s’ championships at Tattersalls Ireland last weekend took on the challenge of the Paul Brady-designed cross-country tracks on Sunday.

The Junior competition was by far the largest with 37 squads vying for honours in the team competition, which resulted in four very well-filled arenas, while the individual championship saw 25 combinations start the dressage phase where one was sadly eliminated for a fall.
