THE final of the Irish Pony Society’s 2025 Sports Pony Challenge was held on Tuesday at Killossery Lodge Stud where the late Dorothy Guilford, whose brainchild the Challenge was, would have been delighted with the standard of riding and production.

Michael Moore (Dressage Ireland List 2A) and June Loughran (List 5) divided the judging duties of the dressage phase, Mairead Ryan assessed those forward over the working hunter course and Gillie Beare judged the show jumping phase. Both tracks were built by Killossery’s Frank Glynn.
