Established in 1982, North East Scotland Highland Pony Enthusiasts Society (NESHPES) was formed when a group of Highland breeders developed the idea of bringing like minded people together to share their enthusiasm for the Highland pony and its part breds.

From that day on NESHPES has prided itself in encouraging people from all disciplines and interests – from large breeders to one pony owners – to enjoy a range of activities regardless of ability or background.

As a club we seek to provide a network of friendship and fun through our various events and aim to promote the versatility of our popular native breed throughout the area.

The club area covers from the River Spey to the River Esk, however we warmly welcome interested people from outwith the area.

The Duthie Park Show on 29 August is fast approaching, so we would like to remind you get your entries in on time! We are always looking for sponsors to support the North East’s premier Highland Pony show, so please get in touch if you would like to sponsor a class or make a donation. Entry forms and sponsorship details can be found here. We desperately need volunteers to help steward on the day, so please get in touch if you have even a few hours to spare!
