AT the end of a long day at the Irish Pony Society’s Spring Show in the Mullingar Equestrian Centre last Thursday week, Cara Foley partnered her mother Sue Ann’s Thorndale Melody to claim the overall supreme pony championship.

Foley and the eight-year-old mare progressed to the finale by winning the open Connemara working hunter championship while they also stood reserve in the ridden Connemara championship and the open Mountain and Moorland ridden championship.
