THE SJI (ShowJumping Ireland) Ulster Region pony awards night just seems to get bigger and better every year. There was huge excitement last Saturday, February 1st, as children, parents, sponsors, show organisers, committee members and invited guests all gathered in Corick House Hotel in Clogher, Co Tyrone for an evening to celebrate the immense talent within the region.

The gleaming cups and trophies to be presented were a spectacle to behold, filling tables which stretched not only across the entire width of the large function room, but also on additional tables at either side. In total, 611 awards, including 137 perpetual cups, were presented to 230 recipients, with around 380 guests in attendance on the night.
