THE 2024 Racehorse to Riding Horse Ireland championship final was held last Sunday at Hollypark Stables, day two of the Irish Pony Society summer championship show.

Sponsored once again by Takashi Kodama, who trains out of the Old Mews Stables, Kildare, and the Aisling-Japan Stud, the final attracted an entry of 12 from qualifiers all around the country. On Sunday, eight horses, including the Dublin champion Mickah Wallace, appeared before judges Louise Halford and Michael Harty, who watched them show their paces on both reins under their regular partners before they both rode all eight themselves.
