Pony Breeders of Shetland Association

VIKING SHETLAND PONY SHOW

For the second year the Viking Shetland Pony Show took place at Seafield, Lerwick, and thankfully it was once again blessed with good weather!

Entries were up by 32 on last year, to 297, but unfortunately a number of ponies were not forward on the day. Despite this, most of the 35 classes were well filled and it is especially encouraging to see that so many good young colts and fillies are being retained in the Islands.

This year Karen Nixon from North Yorkshire judged the Performance Ponies, while Jem Roberts, Unst, and Jimmy Wilson, Clackmannanshire, presided over the Standard and Miniature rings.

After much deliberation, the three judges finally named their Champion of the day as Zorti of Berry, a 33.5” chestnut mare, owned and bred by Jim Smith of Scalloway and shown by Eva Smith. This popular winner not only secured the title of Champion but also won trophies for Best Miniature, Best Coloured Pony and Best Island Bred. Reserve Champion was the ridden gelding, Jared of Musselbrough, who one judge said had put in a faultless performance and had been ridden to perfection by Ailidh Risk.

Reserve champion and best opposite sex was miniature mare Goldcrest of Brindister owned by the Anderlea stud. Best foal and junior champion was a black miniature filly foal Anderlea Nutmeg.
