A HEALTHY contingent of Irish Pony Society members are travelling to the Horse of the Year Show in Birmingham next week. The ‘Golden Ticket’ to compete at HOYS is a huge achievement in itself and IPS members dominated the qualification classes at the Northern Ireland Festival taking all HOYS qualification tickets on offer.

Qualifying in the 133cm Working Hunter Pony section was Ellie Rogan (12)riding the JP Rogan-owned Corries Jack In A Box, who will be making an incredible sixth consecutive appearance in this class, first qualifying with the late Tiggy Hancock in 2018.
