In action at the Connemara Working Hunter Class at Dublin
ADVERTISEMENT
The International Connemara Performance competition will make its debut at the Discover Ireland Dublin Horse Show from 5-9 August. Teams from Ireland, the UK and France will take part in the competition, which will be based on the Connemara Performance Hunter Championship.
Three teams of four pony-and-rider combinations will compete for a prize fund of €3,900. The winners will be decided by the combined total of the three highest-scoring ponies on the team – similar to that of international teams in the Nations Cup.
The competition will provide an opportunity to showcase the qualities and abilities of Ireland’s native sports pony. It will show off the athleticism, versatility and wonderful disposition of the Connemara pony.
