✨THANK YOU✨

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to the show today and helped make it such a success despite the challenging weather.

Our sincere thanks go to our judges, Alison Bowman, Faye Smith-Kerr and Julie Richardson, for giving their time and expertise, and to Mr Maxwell for kindly allowing us the use of the field.

Thank you also to all our committee members of both clubs, all helpers, stewards and runners who worked tirelessly throughout the day, to Susan for keeping everything running smoothly in the Secretary’s trailer and to Sandy with his help with parking.

We are extremely grateful to all of our sponsors for their support, to Roland at Vivid-Images.com for providing photography throughout the day, and to Highland Fold Ice Cream for their delicious catering (ice cream is always a good idea, no matter the weather!)

Full results will follow once dried out and collated, and we will share a link to the photo gallery as soon as it becomes available.

Thank you so much, and very well done, to all of our competitors and prize winners! 👏🏼🏵️

Special congratulations to our Supreme Champion, Katie MacIntyre & Autumns Sunrise and Reserve Supreme, Laura MacLachlan & Alfie. Pictures below 📸

We hope everyone has made it home safely and has had a chance to dry out!

Thank you all for supporting the show – we looking forward to seeing you again next year. 🐴

❗️A reminder that horses and ponies will not be allowed on the field without their flu vaccinations being checked and acknowledged PRIOR to show day. If you have not already sent this in, please email to Kate on [email protected] by 8pm on Saturday night. All emails will be replied to so please get back in touch with Kate if you have not yet had one, as this means your email has not been received and checked.
We are unable to allow horses and ponies without up to date vaccinations to be admitted to the field.

👋🏼 Please report to the Secretary on arrival to collect competitor numbers.

🍽️ Catering will be available on the field from Highland Fold so please bring some extra pennies along with you for this.

🌦️ The weather forecast unfortunately does look a bit soggy. The ground is in very good condition but please take care and be mindful of ground conditions when riding, and don’t forget to bring your waterproofs along with you!

🏆 Anyone returning trophies on the day, please drop these off with the Secretary on arrival.

Looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday! Thank you 😊

❗️IMPORTANT INFORMATION❗️

Due to the recent rise in cases of equine influenza nationwide and following instruction from the sports governing bodies, all horses and ponies attending the show must have up to date flu vaccination and we will be doing passport checks prior to the show.

Please can you send the below information to Kate via email ([email protected]) this week prior to the show:

Please include:
Rider name
Any relevant horse names
Clear picture of the first page of passport with horse’s name
Clear picture of every page with flu vaccs

❗️Any horses without up to date vaccinations will not be permitted on site, please ensure you have sent relevant information prior to the show to avoid disappointment. Please note that you must be at least 7 days’ clear of at least the second vaccine, or any booster, to be able to attend.❗️

If you need to withdraw or amend your entry due to the above, please contact Paige Scott and we will issue a refund, make changes at no additional charge.

On show day, please avoid any unnecessary contact between other horses and ponies and yourself. Please avoid waiting around rings before/after your class where possible and keep your horse at your vehicle when not competing.

We appreciate your cooperation in this situation.

Thank you.
