IT was a wonderful night at the annual Showjumping Ireland National Pony Awards Ball last Saturday night, with over 280 awards presented to the young stars of the future.

Internationally, there was some great successes throughout the year, beginning with the Children On Horses team who took home silver at the European Championships through the hard work of Sarah Fitzgerald, Ciaran Foley, Isobel Hughes Kennedy, Lucy Morton and Rhys Williams.
