THERE were two dedicated classes for Connemara ponies throughout the Sports Pony Challenge series and on finals day at Barnadown where the winners were both grey stallions.

In the class for riders under 16, Keelan Murray did an excellent job in landing the spoils on one of the younger ponies in the line-up, his father Keith’s seven-year-old Lough Fadda Rudi (267 points) who stands at the family’s Whitethorn Stud in Roscommon.
