Yesterday we took my daughters beautiful leadrein & supersafe pony Horninglow Whinlatter to our local care home, it was such a lovely morning meeting the residents & for those who couldn’t make it outside, we went in to see them. Winnie was so calm & gentle. My children chatted & showed them rosettes & photos. I hope we brightened their day as much as they did ours. Lucy Bearcroft
 News from Royal Lancs show & congratulations to all connections
Plumtree Shelby yearling filly with her rosettes and Sash from Royal Lancs Show. She won the mini yearling filly class and was Junior Champion and Reserve Overall Champion. Bred by Lorraine and Jodie Waite and Owned by Tim Dunne but shown by Susan Mullen.  8 year old Cumliebank Justory takes the Olympia ticket.
‘Tory’ qualified at the first round of the Senior Showing (SSADL) at Brechin castle on his first outing this year. The second round was at Cumberland County Show where he took the championship and the Olympia ticket. Owned and handled by Katrina Byrne, south Aberdeenshire. 2017 was his first year competing as a veteran when he took the Senior Showing (SSADL) Scottish Inhand Championship. He was also reserve overall at the Olympia qualifier - missing out on the ticket by 1 point. We own and retrain racehorses but this little guy has kept us on our toes over the passed 7years we have owned him - more than any of the racers ever had! He’s a real ‘character’! Katrina Byrne
 "Sharptor Trinity's 1st outing this year and she takes reserve in a very strong cuddy at TSR, Warwickshire." Julian Walters
What a great to start to the season, we know she can do it and will all be rooting for her again this year. Two consecutive 2nd's in the Pony Cuddy Championships at HOYS and last year she was the highest placed M&M. An amazing feat, could this year be her year?  "We had a lovely weekend at the Shetland performance show with both the Shetlands. Red (Broadspring Tango) ended up being overall first ridden champion for the whole weekend and Thor (Evie's Pride) went lead rein champion on the Saturday.
Love this pony with all my heart . He not only gave me many wins and memories, he is now doing the same for Scarlett. Scarlett rode her little socks - even when both the ponies were a bit naughty on the Saturday." Megan Halsall Photo Credit Emmpix Photography  Would you like to see your story/experience of the Performance Show and photograph in print in a prestigious national magazine?
We are absolutely delighted to have been invited byThe Native Pony Magazine to not only submit a show report but to provide a feature for the Shetland News in the next edition of our favourite magazine to include personal stories from The Performance Show as well.

It doesn't have to be too long (approx 100 words would be fine) but do make sure you include the pony & rider's full name and age and how long the combination have been together and tell us your story of your day or weekend. We have had some great ones already sent to us, for those who haven't yet submitted them please email to [email protected] with the header line 'Shetland Performance Show Story'. Whilst we cannot guarantee they will be included we will of course pass them on and as many as possible will be included in the feature. We will also add them to our fb page and website. So what are you waiting for....start typing.  Well where do we start, what a show!!! It was hot... very hot!!!
We have, as you can imagine just surfaced from our darkened room but we have a massive amount of people to thank. Thank you to our brilliant sponsors without each & everyone one of you we just couldn’t do it. The medals have become a firm fixture at our show & looks like the sashes will be too. Thank you to our Judges who stood out in those rings all day, judging your fabulous ponies & riders/handlers giving our competitors advice, help & support along way, then cooked at the Bbq!!. Thank you stewards, (some who jumped in at the last minute) for keeping the show in the road, cooking at the bbq & making sure our parents were ok when they let the children into the ring for the first time in their own. Thank you to our photographer who’s captured so many amazing moments, thank you to the people who brought in the equipment, jumps, agility & handy pony kit, tea makers, runners & medical team. They are the back bone of our show. Finally a big thank you to each & everyone who came, competitors, ponies, spectators, helpers, drivers the list goes on. It was lovely to see so many familiar face & lots of new ones too. I hope we've not missed anyone out. Please if anyone would like to sponsor at next years show, help or join our working party (we don’t have lots of meetings) please get in touch because a couple of people keep talking about retiring . Many thanks from the Shetland Performance Show Working Party....see you next year.
