Family claims €67k showjumping pony refused to jump

Martin and Helen Carway, from Bleach Rd, Kilkenny, are suing father and son Walter and Jonathan Reape, and a company called Northerly Ltd, claiming that under the purchase agreement for the pony, the defendants would take it back if it did not work out as a showjumper.

The defendants deny the claims and say they only agreed to replace the pony if it did not work out, which they say they tried to do.
