THE final of this year’s Irish Pony Society’s Sports Pony Challenge was held last Sunday at Boswell Equestrian, where the organisers were delighted with the great weather conditions and the co-operation they received from the team at the Co Wicklow venue.

The flat phase of the 133cm, 143cm, 153cm and Connemara classes was assessed by Bernie Webb, who was recently upgraded to List 2 with Dressage Ireland, while Vicky Cloney (List 5) judged the Starter Stakes, 158cm and Novice classes. The task of judging fell to Jane Darragh in the working hunter phase and to Gillie Beere in the show jumping phase.
