Also thanks to

I echo all of the previous comments. The whole weekend was superb, as was the educational part and the participatory sections too. A 5 ***** experience. Now l have to teach all the American Connemara folks how to RIDE a working hunter division! It was a privilege to attend. Thank you all.
This successful event is a reflection of what happens when a society works together for the Connemara pony. With inspections well organised for the improvement of the breed and impressive shows displaying the fortes of the pony. A society progressing, in a positive, happy direction to the pinnacle of its 80th celebration next year. Thank you and congratulations on behalf of the Connemara pony.☘️
It was a super weekend and so nice to see so many familiar faces from across the world and closer to home enjoying what was an extremely well run event. It was a pleasure for us to be involved with a breed that is very dear to our hearts!! Thank you Kerry Wainwright and the British Connemara Pony Society for inviting us to bring some ponies along for the weekend. Wishing this event massive success in the future and congratulations to the BCPS for running a fantastic event. You all should be very proud!!

More fab prizes arriving with our breed show winners. We can't thank our sponsors enough.
This content isn't available at the moment
When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.& I love our pallet of Equinola bedding from Bedwell - brilliant product from a really nice company. Great driver too!
The prizes are fantastic my boy loved his pallet of Gelston Haylage
