THE Irish Pony Club squad arrived back into Dublin airport on Tuesday morning following their very successful, and hugely enjoyable, trip to Australia where they competed against teams representing the host nation, New Zealand and the United Kingdom in a three-round international tetrathlon exchange.

Some of the IPC members joined forces with riders from other nations to compete as mixed international teams in both the boys and girls competitions over the three weeks. The full IPC squads only once failed to register a win and that was when the girls finished second to the UK in the opening round at the Yandina & District leg at start of the month.
