LAST weekend, Millstreet played host to its Autumn Pony and Young Rider Grand Prix show, with good entries being recorded in the two categories. On Sunday, both young riders and pony riders battled it out for the Autumn titles.

A total of 20 combinations lined out for the 128cm 1m Grand Prix, and claiming the first title was Josh Fitzgerald and Inchala Du Roudoutous, when they were fastest of four double clears in 29.53 seconds. Mairead Kate Barry was fractions behind with Loggy Star Lubelie, in 30.92, while in third was Julia Sheehan and Lackaghmore Cat, in 32.19. Last of the double clears and slotting into fourth was Amelia Stafford and Tierna, in 33.31. Julia Sheehan proved that the winning time could be beaten, when stopping the clock in 28.17, but with a pole down, she had to settle for fifth. Isobelle Keating also had one on the ground with Sheeaun Santa Cruz, but in a slower time of 30.38 for sixth.
