South West Shetland Pony Group show: Fabulous end to our show season.
We have travelled hundreds of miles across the country, showing twenty-five different ponies, meeting lots of old friends and making many new ones along the way. For our final show for 2018, we made the three-and-a-half-hour journey down to the SWSPG show and luckily it was an easy trip with no hold ups. As usual SWSPG had a lovely atmosphere and there was a huge turnout of people enjoying their ponies. The day seemed to go well for David, Julian and all their helpers, with no hiccups and smiling faces all round. We were so proud of our ponies who made it a brilliant last show of the season. Despite being only his second show, Snelsmore Ulysses won the strong yearling class and overall yearling championship. Meanwhile, Snelsmore Tequila Sunrise tagged along for some much-needed experience. This fiddley young lady can’t get the hang of standing still for a judge but still managed a good third place; practice makes perfect. Snelsmore Sienna finished her fantastic season with another win and went on to take reserve junior champion. For me the star of the day was Snelsmore Mystique. She continues to be a great show pony and broodmare. Only weaned a week ago from her handsome colt foal, she was a true professional and finished up taking the reserve supreme championship. It was a big ask, but as always, Mystique gave it her all. I think it’s time for everyone to rest over winter.
