Growing in popularity and prestige each year, the Pony Masters returned for its third edition in 2026. 

Once again the finals took place at the Mullingar CSI2* International Horse Show, providing a super opportunity for the qualified riders to compete alongside top international athletes. 

5 very competitive qualifiers took place around the country where the top 5 combinations in each category qualified for the Finals where there was a prizefund of €10,000 up for grabs.

All qualified combinations competed in both classes in the finals. Day 1 was a speed class which determined the jumping order for Day 2 Grand Prix, meaning the fastest round in the speed class jumped last in the Grand Prix.

The Grand Prix in each category was a thrilling display of top class pony show jumping. Congratulations to all competitors who qualified for the Pony Masters Finals 2026, and to all the prize winners. 

Thank you to the very generous sponsors of the Pony Masters, Ballynegal Feeds and Showjumping Ireland and to everyone who supported the series.
