THE committee which ran the Irish Pony Society Kildare/North Leinster Area show at Killossery Lodge Stud last Sunday deserves great credit in getting through all the advertised classes as, following heavy rain during the week and a deluge on Saturday morning, they were unable to use, as planned, two showing arenas on grass.

“We managed to run all showing classes continuously indoors and adapted the jumping rings to accommodate all the performance classes,” revealed Area secretary, Rena Rawluk. “We were delighted that members travelled from all around the country to Killossery, especially from the Northern Area. We held 14 championships and look forward to seeing how our supreme champion, Holthall Gladiator, gets on in the all-Ireland pony supreme championship at Killusty next month (Saturday, July 5th).”
