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.

NESHPES would like to wish Team Esk and Team Spey the very best of luck with the Highland Pony Stock Judging event which will take place on Friday 26 June at the Highland Show. The competition will start at 3pm, so all supporters and spectators would be warmly welcomed!

Don’t forget the North-East’s premier Highland Pony Show will be taking place in Duthie Park, Aberdeen on Sunday 23rd August. Full details and entry forms will be available here soon.
Schedule available here.

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.
