The Aberdeen Highland Pony Show at Duthie Park, Aberdeen continues to be our largest show and one which the Club is extremely proud of. Again we were blessed with a lovely day and an extremely strong entry of ponies throughout the classes.

2008 saw the inclusion of a new Championship for the show – the NESHPES Best Member Championship – which members of the club qualify for throughout the showing year at designated shows. The new Championship certainly proved to be a crowd puller and we hope that it will continue to thrive as it becomes a permanent fixture in the AHPS schedule.

We are grateful for the continued support of Aberdeen City Council in letting us use the magnificent Duthie Park.

Further show photographs are available on the Animal Snappers website.
