Fun in the sun as King Puck is crowned

THE goat took a back seat as ponies and donkeys took centre stage at a busy day of trading at Puck Fair yesterday.

It seemed every second kid was on the lookout for a pony at the horse fair Gathering Day in sun-splashed Killorglin, Co Kerry.

Piebalds, skewbalds and plain foxy ponies were fetching from 1,000 upwards and donkeys were also in demand, with good class mares reported to be also making 1,000 and more.
