FELL PONY SOCIETY NORTH WEST AREA FOAL SHOW

21^ST NOVEMBER, 2009. INGLEWOOD EQUESTRIAN CENTRE

 

It was fortunate that the weather held fine for this year’s FPS North West Area’s Foal Show.  Rain started to fall just after the final Championship rosettes had been handed out. How lucky we were as we were forecast bad weather!

 

Our Judge, Jeff Hunter form Tebay said his winner, Greenholme Dora was a top contender right from the word go. In both classes the top two ponies were very good. The filly class was a much stronger class than the colt class. The Champion had good all round quality with good legs and a sweet pony like head. The Champion was shown by John Potter of Tebay for the foals owner, his daughter, Rebecca Jade Potter. Rebecca Jade bred Greenholme Dora out of Greenholme Nancy by Greenholme Look at Me.

 

The winning foal took home a new Trophy kindly donated by Mr and Mrs David Howe of Dufton for the best Hill Bred Foal as well the Champion Foal cup and best Filly Foal cup.

 

The judge commented that on the whole all the foals were well behaved and had obviously had a lot of work put into them prior to the show. He took his hat off to them as with all the poor weather that we have been having that would have been hard task at home. The judge also commended  the Foal Show as being  a good end of season event   for all Fell Pony Breeders and enthusiasts to gather and meet at. There was a very good amount of spectators at the Show just the same as last years first Foal Show.

 

The show would not have been able to run unless it was for the generousity of the show sponsors, Leanne Hushka of Northern Pet Supplies, herself a keen Fell Pony Enthusiast and Colin Roberts of the Byebeck Stud, Tebay. The FPS North West Area thank them and all their trophy Donators for making the show what it was.

 

The next show will be held on the same date at the same venue next year. Further information can be obtained from Ellen Jones 017684-83511  or 07787570736   www.sparketmillcottage.co.uk
