THE Irish Pony Society held their national spring show last Sunday at Barnadown where, with the Co Wexford venue’s assured surfaces and plenty of space, they were able to offer something for everyone, advertising 109 classes.

Not all received entries and some others attracted very few, but there was huge interest in the Royal International Horse Show (July 21st to 26th) qualifiers, with course builder Shane Brooks posing quite a challenge in the working hunter section with his Derby tracks.
