Central Scotland Highland Pony Club - Summer Show Sunday 4th September 2022 After a very soggy start things quickly got under way. Once you’re wet.. you’re wet… so I guess you don’t feel it any more and competitors and ponies soon filled the show rings. The In-Hand classes went swimmingly (no pun intended) and after a bit of deliberation our In-Hand Judge Mrs Gilean Docherty and Probationer judge Mrs Catriona Lackie soon presented Hamish Cameron and his Broodmare - Maydew of Turin Hill with the In-Hand Champion. The Reserve Champion going to Jean Ralston and her 2 year old colt - Moss-side Dark Lochnagar, who also won the Best Youngstock. This was swiftly followed by The Highland Pony Society Youngstock Chamionship – (Scotland) where any youngstock Champion from any HPS affiliated show throughout the year came forward to be judged the overall youngstock Champion. This prestigious class was judged by Mr Andrew Baird who decided that 3 year old filly Moss-side Crathie owned by Willie and Jean Ralston took Champion before presenting 3 year old Fourmerk Alexandra owned by Joan Alexander with the reserve Champion. This led into another distinguished class the CSHPC Champion of Champions Grand Final where any previous Champion or Reserve Champion from shows throughout the previous year competed to be crowned the overall Champion. This class was judged by Mrs Mary McCall-Smith who selected the Champion Hamish Cameron and his Broodmare - Maydew of Turin Hill before selecting the yeld mare Trailtrow Tianavaig owned by Gillian McMurray as Reserve Champion. The ridden classes were also well underway and our ridden judge Ms Marjorie Grant decided the Novice Champion was Trailtrow Tianavaig – ridden by Kirstin McMurray with the Reserve Novice Champion going to Maxwell of Millfield and Joanna Jack. The ridden Open Champion was then presented to Trailtrow Gracie –ridden by Jackie Coull with the Reserve Open Champion going to Trowan Patrick - Kerry Richardson. The overall ridden championship then going to Trailtrow Tianavaig – ridden by Kirstin McMurray with the Reserve overall Champion going to Maxwell of Millfield and Joanna Jack. This was also followed by the Ridden Champion of Champions Final, which saw Maxwell of Millfield and Joanna Jack take Champion. Our Junior Classes were very well supported this year and it was delightful to see the future lifeblood of our beautiful breed compete in these classes. The judge for this years show was Mrs Carolyn Munro who selected the Junior Tack & Turnout winner as Keira Fraser and her gelding Gleann Mharic of Rynuan. The young Handler prize went to Phoebe Eason and her Gelding Gille of Croila whilst the young rider prize was presented to Isla Troup and the mare Strathearn Bracken Mist. The sun did eventually come out and the Working Hunter classes were blessed with the dry weather allowing the judges Mrs Carolyn Munro and Miss Heather Keron to select the WH Champion as Trowan Patrick ridden by Kerry Richardson and WH Reserve Champion as Carrick Lady lunna ridden by Jane Mcculloch. Judging was then underway for the Supreme Champion where the in-hand judge Mrs Gilean Docherty and ridden Judge Ms Marjory Grant were unable to agree on their overall Champion, so calling on the Umpire Mrs Mary McCall-Smith she decided that the Supreme Champion of the show was the in-Hand Champion Hamish Cameron and his Broodmare - Maydew of Turin Hill. And the reserve Supreme Champion was the ridden Champion Trailtrow Tianavaig and Kirstin McMurray. We aren’t quite done there either.. who said Highland ponies can’t dance.. Our well supported Dressage competition saw competitors compete in Intro, Prelim and Novice classes with great scores and comments from our judge Catriona Armstrong. The winner of the Intro class being Shirley Clarke and her young mare Kershope Breagh. The prelim winner was Jackie Coull with her mare Trailtrow Gracie and the Novice winner and overall dressage winner was Adrienne Taylor and her gelding Tarquin of forglen. A huge big thank you to everyone who came out to support our show. The judges, stewards, helpers and very generous sponsors.

In order of preference
If there is something not listed and you would like to do it, then please contact the club with suggestions.  Our annual Spring Show will once again be held at Netherton Equestrian, nr Perth on 28th April 2018.
The schedule is out now and can be downloaded at the bottom of this post. You can also enter via the website with the enter button also at the bottom of this post. We have classes for everyone, in-hand, ridden and dressage. Why not come along to what will be a great fun day out with your ponies. Remember you camera and send us your pictures so we can update out website afterwards. Directions to Netherton Equestrian - Netherton Farm, Aberargie, Perthshire, PH2 9NE Exit the M90 at the Bridge of Earn Junciton 9, then take the A912 signposted Glenfarg. At the end of the long straight is a small roundabout, turn left on to the A913 towards Abernethy. The farm road is the first road on the left hand side, just before the cottages in the village. There are 2 very large white round concrete planters and a number of white painted stones at the top of the farm road. Follow the farm road, there are passing places along the road, and then you will see the sheds infront of you. This years AGM was held again at Strathallan Castle on Friday 23rd February 2018, with the kind permission of Anna Roberts, who this year became the Chairwoman.
It was a fantastic turn out with lots of members new and old, catching up with each other, before it quickly got down to business. The first thing to change this year was a questionnaire that will help the club pin down what it's members interests are and if there is anything they would like to do in addition to the planned events this year. It was agreed that the Spring Show will go ahead at Netherton Equestrian, Bridge of Earn on Saturday 28th April 2018 and entries would go live within a couple of weeks. It was also agreed that the Summer show would again be held at Strathallan Castle in September. Unfortunately the one day event did not happen last year, however there are plans to run a joint event with the Pony Club, so fingers crossed the event will run this year. Similarly, the performance awards did not run last year and therefore we start them again this year. So make sure you download your record cards and keep a note of all you activities for the year ahead. There was a huge thank you to John Litster, Lynne Alexander, Shona Barrie and Jackie Coull who all stood down from the committee having served the club over the previous few years. The new committee members were elected as follows:- Chairwoman - Anna Roberts Vice Chiar - Norma Gillon Treasurer - Robin Gillon Secretary - Gilian Docherty Members Secretary - Carol-Anne McCulloch Show Secretary - Jill Vasey Website/Facebook - Rosie Reid Training - Rebecca Chalmers Lisa Allison Catriona Lackie We then had a very informative presentation from Julie Hanna from the British Horse Society regarding the possibility of joining the British Riding Clubs and various BHS initiatives. This was all followed by some yummy soup, sandwiches and cakes. Yum, yum. We all left looking forward to the year ahead, thankful that the Beast from the East had finally left us ! Thank you to everyone who came along to the AGM and Performance Awards last Friday night. It was a lovely evening. Many thanks to Anna Roberts for hosting us at Strathallan. The 2015 Performance Award winners are: In-hand Youngstock Louise Robertson, Rebus of Fourmerk ...
