Two days of pony jumping as Portmore hosts Spring Pony Tour
Tough competition included Balmoral Under 10s qualifier and a new 70cm Newcomers class for 138/148 ponies
Registered pony show jumpers had two days of intense competition as the Ulster Region TRI Spring Pony Tour was held at Portmore Equestrian Centre, Aghalee over the weekend of March 8 and 9.
Saturday saw the 138 and 148 ponies, as well as the Children on Horses classes, take centre stage with the usual array of classes running from 80cm up to 1.20m. Much to the delight of many competitors starting out in the registered ranks, a 70cm Newcomer class was held for 138 and 148 ponies.

The next leg of the Ulster Region TRI Spring Pony Tour will be held on Sunday, March 23 at The Meadows, Lurgan.
