Whether you’re just starting with Lead Rein and First Ridden classes or are seasoned competitors in Show Ponies, Show Hunters, Working Hunters, or In-Hand classes for breeding and youngstock, there’s a place for everyone in the IPS community.

We’re proud to oversee over 100 shows and hundreds of classes across the country each year, providing countless opportunities to showcase the incredible talent and versatility of Ireland’s ponies.

This year is extra special as we celebrate our Diamond Jubilee – 60 Years of the Irish Pony Society (1964–2024)! Join us for the Spring and Summer Championship Shows, where an exciting lineup of classes, fantastic prizes, and the best of Irish ponies will take center stage.

With 6,000 ponies registered and events happening all year round, the Irish Pony Society is your gateway to a vibrant and supportive community. Our mission is to set the standard for pony excellence in Ireland, championing the improvement and protection of breeding while promoting top-quality competitions for:
