🏆 Well done to Our Under 10s & Junior Mounted Games Teams 🏆
Well done to our young riders representing KHPC at the Ploughing Championships this week.
Stepping into such a big national event takes so much courage, and every single one of our children rode brilliantly. There was plenty of speed, great skill, and tons of fun had by all, plus a sneaking a day off school added to the excitement😉
Huge well done to our fantastic riders, supportive parents, and everyone who helped along the way! 💚🐴

It is with great sadness that we remember Annette O’Callaghan, much loved mother, grandmother and a valued member of the Kildare Hunt Pony Club family.
She gave so generously of her time and support over the years.
Our deepest sympathies are with her sons, grandchildren and the entire O’Callaghan family at this very sad time.

May she rest in peace.

Scone Palace International Horse Trials hosted Pony Club Mounted Games competitions for junior and senior teams on Sunday of the event. Our very own Lilly May Sheehan and Alanna Dillon represented the Irish Pony Club and came a very close 2nd to one of the top Pony Club Mounted Games teams in the UK, Strathearn A.
India Cox also flew the KHPC flag coming a fantastic 5th in the 3 day event!
It was a pleasure to host the teams at Punchestown a few weeks ago and watch the amazing preparation by all before their trip to Scone.
Congratulations to all involved!
🖤🤍💛
