IT has been a busy week for members of Area 17 of The Pony Club (Northern Ireland) with qualifiers in dressage and show jumping for next month’s Championships in Cholmondeley Castle taking place at the Meadows Equestrian Centre outside Lurgan on Saturday and Monday.

History was made on Saturday when Jazmin Vollands won the Cunningham Cup for the third time following a ride-off with fellow North Down Branch member, Kathryn McKibbin. The pair had finished first (73.2%) and second (66.8) respectively in the Open individual competition.
