There was a fantastic turnout of ponies and riders and all their support teams, as the Meadows Equestrian Centre, Lurgan, hosted the Ballinroe Pony Premier and Boomerang.ie Starfinder over two days on May 25 and 26. Other classes were also held, including the B. Sweeney Equine Ltd Future Champions Series and the Irish Pony Breeders Classic and, with heights on offer from 50cm right up to 1.20m, there really was something for everyone!

Hello and welcome to Horse&Field. Our aim is to support local, grass roots equestrian enthusiasts and competitors and keep you all informed of what’s happening in the horsey world, as well as covering all things agricultural. If you haven’t already subscribed you can do so below:
Ulster Region athletes put on great show and took home their fair share of the ribbons on offer. There are too many to mention individually, for fear of leaving someone out, so well done to everyone who competed - especially those who finished on the podium!
