THE JCB Pony Club Championships moved to a new venue this year, Offchurch Bury in Warwickshire, and a large contingent of members of Branches in Area 17 (Northern Ireland) made the journey across the Irish Sea to take part in five of the seven disciplines on offer from Friday, August 13th through to Sunday, August 22nd.

“The new venue was wonderful,” said Area Representative Liz Lowry. “We had some great results highlighted by the Iveaghs winning the Open team show jumping championship, Hollie Donnan (also Iveagh) being crowned Novice Champion in dressage and some great results from Charlotte Keers of the North Downs.”
