Aldyth Roulston, Ulster Region Pony Committee expressed her gratitude to Gareth McCombe from TRI Equestrian NI for his continued support of the tour. “We are indebted to Gareth and his hard working team for their encouragement and sponsorship of this important league for our pony riders.  We know how delighted the kids are to receive both TRI vouchers and prizes at the final, they absolutely love the empowerment of spending vouchers they won themselves and we couldn’t ask for a better sponsor to support our region.”  Aldyth continued “It is worth noting that following a successful spring tour, a number of these pony competitors went on to qualify for and compete in Dublin Horse Show against the country’s best and do extremely well!  These tours provide an education for our young ponies and athletes like that helps prepare them for the larger stages.”

The tour will also encompass a number of Ulster Region Pony Points Cup classes, all of which can be found on the regions website: www.ulsterregionshowjumping.ie
