THE Westmeath Branch, represented by Sam Carey, Charlie Kennedy and Sofie Walsh, claimed the Intermediate team title at the Irish Pony Club/Connolly’s Red Mills eventing championships held last weekend at the Fell family’s international venue of Ballindenisk in Co Cork.

Along with Rebecca Joyce, who competed at Tattersalls on Sunday, the Westmeaths qualified at Rosanna for the British Pony Club championships which were also on last weekend. However, the majority preferred to stay at home and were delighted with their win here on a total of 100.1 penalties.
