OUTDOOR sports are all the more enjoyable when the sun is shining and such was the case at Killossery Lodge Stud last Sunday for the Irish Pony Society Kildare/North Leinster Area show, where the large entry included many new members, local riders and Pony Clubbers.

As it was Father’s Day, not all section champions and reserves could stay to compete for the supreme champion title, but the five-strong judges’ panel of Mary Moore, Jennifer Byrne, Jane Scala, Carole Douglas and Mary Carter, who stuck to their task to the end, had eight ponies to assess.
