Native Pony Championship Show
4th Feb 2007
This
was a very exciting venture for NFPO&B, our first “Native Pony
Show”.
New Forest
ponies enjoyed
their own ring with great opportunities as most classes were split
into 2 height sections.
The
show was held in conjunction with the Somerville Lions Club Open
Horse Show, an annual event for many years now which is held on a
grassy property near
Somerville
with a background of lovely old gum
trees. Eight other ‘native pony’ breeds had their own breed
classes too, all breeds coming together for led and ridden show
‘Hunter’ classes , Children's ridden classes and finally the awarding of Grand Champion
garlands for Led and Ridden Native Ponies as well as a special Grand
Champion Childs ridden . The garlands looked a treat and were very
popular. Fortunately the weather was not as hot as earlier
predictions and the
New Forest
ponies nearly numbered as many as had attended our Stud Show one
week earlier.
Supreme Led New Forest went to the great moving
Forestway Odette, Helen Maughan's mare shown by teenagers Kizia,
Ariane and Priska. Supreme Ridden New Forest was won by
Jarosite Pickason with owner/rider Gabbi George. Pickason (Claude)
went on to receive the garland for Grand Champion Ridden New Forest
pony, The highly sought after garland for Grand Champion Childs
Ridden went to the New Forest partbred ‘Ninebanks Tim Tam’, ridden beautifully by his owner / rider Jordy
Wright in true partnership with her mount. It was a big day with
smiles all round as many ponies took home a broad sash.
Plans are in the pipeline for an ‘authentic’ Working Hunter pony
section to be added to this program next year. Look out for details
on the Working Hunter Pony Demonstration and Information Day to be
held on 29/7/07 , a chance
for us all to understand fully what is expected of pony and rider,
and how you will be marked in this interesting new addition to show
programs over a delightful course of rustic inspired jumps suitable
for Shetlands through to Highlands.
