The BCPS is delighted to be able to award its Special Rosette at affiliated shows to the highest-placed BCPS member in classes confined to registered pure-bred Connemara ponies. The Special Rosette can only be won at affiliated shows, and it’s a wonderful way to recognise Connemara excellence across the nation.
