THE National Pony Society (NPS) Northern Ireland Championships returned to Clogher Valley Show on Wednesday, July 27 and it was great to see so many lovely ponies being brought forward for judging.
Mrs Sarah Ross had some very difficult decisions to make in choosing her winners from ponies who had qualified at a variety of shows throughout the season. There were six championship classes in total, with Katie Crozier’s ‘Lough Derg Star’ taking Overall Supreme at the end of the day, with James Cleland’s ‘Budore Big Jim’ taking Reserve Supreme Champion.
