ABERDEEN HIGHLAND PONY SHOW

GeldingsThe growth of NESHPES has been emphasised with the birth and success of its annual showing show since 1983. On invitation from Aberdeen council, NESHPES was extremely lucky to secure the use of stunning venue, Duthie Park in Aberdeen. The setting has created a unique show with a superb atmosphere. Nobody could imagine then what the show would become with over 100 entries taken for the first show. Going from strength to strength the show now boasts one of the biggest entries of Highland ponies, surpassed only by the Royal Highland Show.

Throughout the shows aim has remained to create a premier competition which welcomes non members and newcomers to the showing world.

Whether you are a seasoned shower or just fancy giving it a go you will be made more than welcome. Competitors are encouraged to follow the traditional routes of the Highland and wear a touch of tartan when showing.

As will all Club events spectators are most welcome. For further information please email the club or phone Karen Stewart.

Aberdeen Highland Pony Show 2008

Schedules are now available for the 2008 show by clicking here or contacting Karen Stewart on stablesbrae@btinternet.com

The show will take place on SUNDAY 24TH AUGUST at Aberdeen’s Duthie Park.

This year’s show will see the introduction of a new Championship class, the NESHPES Best Member Rosette Championship final.

The Championship invites members who have qualified at local shows throughout the North-east to the show to compete for the Championship.

Aberdeen Highland Pony Show 2007

This showcase event again proved to be a fantastic day for all involved with the show, the breed and the club - although maybe not for the club marquee!

Weren't we lucky at Duthie Park this year! The weather was kind to us for once - apart from the evil wind which saw the end of our lovely marquee! The ponies looked their best and showing conditions were first class - everyone has a part to play in making the day such a success.

Huge thanks must go to all who exhibited and those who came along to spectate. It is very gratifying to see so many people interested in the breed - without you there would be no show! Special thanks must be given to the judges, stewards, commentator, generous sponsors and those who worked behind the scenes setting up the show. There is a great deal of unseen work involved in the preparation of such a show.

Our gratitude must also be extended to Aberdeen City Council for the use of Duthie Park and to the Lord and Lady Provost who take a keen interest in the show.

Huge thanks must again go to Karen, the show secretary, for her dedication and commitment to the show.
Lets hope that the show continues to grow in popularity at this first class venue.
