A Sligo man has gone on trial charged with deception over the sale of a pony in 2012. Michael Kearins has pleaded not guilty

However, when the animals arrived in Majorca, where the family lived, it is alleged one of the ponies was a completely different animal to the one they had seen and agreed to buy in Ireland.

Their daughters, then aged 8 and 10, had an interest in show-jumping and on a visit home to see his father in Sligo he followed up an advert on DoneDeal for a pony. Mr Ewing said they went to view the horses a second time to evaluate their temperament and then went to see them in Claremorris, Co Mayo where his wife and daughters rode them in an indoor arena.

Mr Ewing said he only ever agreed to buy two ponies, the cost was €20,000 and a deposit of €10,000 was paid to Mr Kearins from a family trust fund, the balance to be paid when the ponies arrived in Majorca.
