FOLLOWING a great year of achievements at home and abroad in 2019, pony and junior riders were honoured for their achievements at the SJI Pony Awards at Mullingar Park Hotel last Saturday evening.

Riders from newcomers right up to gold medallists received awards across 30 categories. A live auction yielded over €15,000 with proceeds going to the Jack and Jill Foundation, the hosting of the Pony Awards, and the National Pony Championships.
