A VERY successful Connolly’s Red Mills qualifier was staged by the Co Limerick Branch of the Irish Pony Club last Sunday at Ballycahane, Crecora, where landowner Ger Furnell built the cross-country course and Kevin Bartley was the show jumping course builder.

“We were delighted with the entry of 167 and there were a lot of new faces among competitors which was great to see,” reported organiser Catherine Noonan. “We had showers on and off all day but plenty of heat as well so everyone dried off quickly enough. The cross-country course rode well with no one fence proving a bogey.”
