Kisbér-Ászár: Four ponies turned away for World Championship
The World Championships for pony driving kicked off this morning in Kisbér-Ászár Hungary with the veterinary inspection. Four of the 273 ponies that were brought before the judges will not proceed further in these championships. For the French single driver Delphine de Jotemps, her World Championship debut was brought to an abrupt halt when her pony did not pass the inspection.
