BROTHERS Nathan (10) and Harry (9) are amongst the top 24 ponies to have battled out qualifying places for the most prestigious show in Ireland - The Royal Dublin Horse Show (RDS).
Younger of the two Harry took second place at the second qualifier at Barnadown, Co Wexford and achieved the honour and priivelege of competing alongside an international rider in a pairs competition held in the Main Arena at RDS; something which only eight riders in the whole of Ireland experienced.
Nathan who was Leading 128 Ulster Rider 2007 has kicked off yet another successful season, qualifying three ponies for The Odyssey - The Belfast International Show held in October.
The boys also both competed at the Home Pony International held at Cavan Equestrian Centre with riders competing from all over the UK and between them took home seven victories; Nathan winning five and Harry winning two.
Amongst those wins Nathan was selected to jump on the 128cm Irish Teams Event and went on to take the gold medal - one of Nathan’s biggest successes to date.
All at Marsh Kyfe Equestrian Centre (Magherafelt) would like to wish Nathan and Harry all the best at the RDS, Dublin and their forthcoming events.
