THE Laois Hunt Branch held their Connolly’s Red Mills/Irish Pony Club eventing qualifier on Saturday, July 4th in the beautiful setting of Stradbally Hall where the hosts had the perfect start.

They did so through Megan Adams who, in the No 1 bib, recorded an all-the-way success on the only sub-30 penalty dressage score (29.25) in the Intermediate Section A, with Corranvale Arabella, a 10-year-old Irish Sport Horse mare by Antaeus.
