THROUGHOUT the country, Pony Clubs are holding their annual awards nights and last Friday members and supporters of the Golden Vale Branch gathered at Revel at the Ragg in Thurles where Area Representative Pat Walsh presented the awards.

Highlights of 2026 included the large number of members who competed at this year’s Irish Pony Club national minimus championships where the Golden Vale Cheeky Teasers team of Ronan Maher, Shauna Gleeson, Ciaran Mockler and Evan Corcoran won the cross-country prize.
