ANOTHER hugely successful Irish Pony Club Festival was held last Thursday, Friday and Saturday when members of Branches throughout the nine regions converged on Barnadown in Co Wexford.

Sadly, the great run of the Co Longford Branch in the TRI Equestrian Open team show jumping has come to an end with Edel Whyte, who finished fifth individually on Saturday, being the only one still regularly competing with the Pony Club who was on the Branch team which twice won the British championships.
