AMONG the 300+ members of the Irish Pony Club who are competing this weekend at the Holmestead Minimus Championships in Co Kildare is Lara Field who is representing the Galway Mid County Branch with Dunmaster.

Last weekend, while her mother Marjorie Hardiman was competing at the Riding Club Festival in Mullingar as a member of the Tonabrockey club, Lara enjoyed some non-equestrian activities with her father Mark. These included a trip to Sunday’s Claregalway Show where 10-year-old Lara won the rare breed class with her Swiss Appenzeller who went on to be overall poultry champion.
