A new book tells the story of Headfort once a colonial outpost in Co Meath. Kim Bielenberg reports

It is the only primary school in Ireland where children can bring along their ponies.

Headfort School near Kells Co Meath has its own stables. Ponies are allowed to reside there at a cost of up to 55 per week so long as their owners make them available to other children.
