TWO young Irish riders competed at the British Show Pony Society Area 17 fixture at the Onley Grounds Equestrian Complex near Rugby in England on Sunday, March 8th, when they dominated the show hunter pony section, qualifying for the Royal International Horse Show at Hickstead in July (21st to 26th) in the process.

Co Tyrone’s Casey-Lee Millar won the 133cm qualifier, and the day’s show hunter pony championship, with her mother Eileen’s eight-year-old Irish Sport Pony gelding Out Of The West (Lehid Canal Prince - Farranderry Lucy Liu, by Desarbe Falcon). The grey, on whom Casey-Lee won her 133cm class at Dublin last August, was bred in Co Tipperary by Katie and Malachy Hehir.
