THE Irish Pony Club held their Mackey Equestrian-sponsored national hunter trials last Saturday at Ballycahane where Gerald and Dominic Furnell designed and built well-received tracks and Carolyn Furnell presided over a much-appreciated hospitality tent.

“The courses rode well and the fences were very well-built and presented,” said the IPC’s Operations Manager, Ivan Hatton. “Full credit has to go the Jacinta Reville (Chair) and the eventing committee and their scorers Evelyn Whyte and Sally Maguire. The sun shone and everyone was in good form. Competitors are now looking forward to the start of the eventing qualifiers.”
