THE three big winners at the Irish Pony Society Wicklow Area awards function, which was held in Polo Wicklow on Sunday, November 16th, were the Mini Pony of the Year Mungret Boy, the overall Pony of the Year Fiona’s Fionn and the Rider of the Year, Aoibhinn Grimes.

Maria Tyrrell’s Fiona’s Fionn, who was on Ireland’s bronze medal-winning team at the 2019 European pony eventing championships, didn’t compete under Eventing Ireland rules this year but did so with the Irish Pony Club. The grey finished fifth, and won the dressage phase, in his Junior Arena at the Connolly’s Red Mills national championships at Tattersalls Ireland in August.
