Annual General Meeting

The AGM of the Kerry Bog Pony Co-operative Society was held at the Red Fox Inn on Saturday 14th June 2008. It took place on the same day as the Inspections. There were 47 mares in for Inspection and 11 stallions so the Meeting was somewhat late in starting.

WARNING! BUYER BEWARE!

It has been brought to our attention that small ponies recently imported from England have been offered for sale as Kerry Bog Ponies. Traders are selling them from trailers with no papers whatsoever. Please be careful when buying a pony. It is wise to source a seller through the website or by putting your name on a buyers list for referrals. Whenever there is a demand for a product there is a temptation for the unscrupulous to supply an inferior substitute. Insist on a Brown Passport.
