THE local pony classes at the recent, hugely successful show run by the Kildare/North Leinster Region of the Irish Pony Society at Tattersalls Ireland were sponsored by the Dublin Dog Hub.

The dog shelter, which is based at Meakstown, Finglas, is owned and run by the 1992 Eurovision Song Contest winner and animal welfare advocate Linda Martin who attended the show, presenting the local pony championship prize to Ellie Maguire on Poppy, winners of the veteran pony class.
