The 2019 Kerry Bog Pony Mare Championship Final took place at the Iverk Show on Sturday 24th August.  

With seven, of the eight qualified ponies present on the day, it was a very strong class. Judge, Marion Condren, assessed all ponies carefully before making her selection.

Commented on her decision, Marian Condron said that the winning pony had "...a great front, with excellent action".
