  • 2016 Brittish Riding Pony Breed Standards and Showing Rules
    2016 Brittish Riding Pony Breed Standards and Showing Rules Secretary: Mrs Alicia M Hay Blairview, By Milnathort, KY13 0SF 07970 816416 www.npsscotland.co.uk BRITISH RIDING PONY BREED DESCRIPTION The British Riding Pony is a breed, established over a hundred years ago, originally by the Polo Pony Stud Book Society in 1893. However, 20 years later it became the National Pony Society and to this day it is the custodian of the Stud Book. The Stud Book was formed to encourage the breeding, registration and improvement of both Riding Ponies and at that time all the native breds too, though they now have their own stud books. The foundation blood lines of all the British Riding Ponies were Polo Ponies, Thoroughbreds, Arabs and the British Native Breeds (mostly Welsh or Dartmoor). An increasing number of the ponies now being registered with the NPS are the progeny of British Riding Pony sires and dams and through many generations of selective breeding a very high standard has been achieved. British Riding Ponies are of three categories or types – Show Ponies, Show Hunter Ponies and Sports/Competition Ponies. The Sports Ponies result from cross breeding with Sport Horses or Ponies. All types have outstanding quality while retaining the pony characteristics of good temperament, hardiness, soundness and surefootedness. They provide an ideal mount for today’s competitive riders and are successful in a wide variety of equine competitions and disciplines. The British Riding Pony is much respected and sought after world wide and some of the best blood lines have been exported, predominantly to Australia, New Zealand and America.

The Annual Show is proud to celebrate our membership, recognizing not only the accomplishment of riders, trainers, owners and horses over the past year but also of the many struggles our industry and families have endured more recently. Throughout the planning of this show we did not know if we would be able to gather together at all and while we continued to hope for the best case scenario, we also cautiously made provisions for a limited show experience or none whatsoever. We hope this years show will be a chance for us all to celebrate being together (6 feet apart), enjoying the sport and the horses we love. Over the past 38 years this horse show has seen many changes but the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for social distancing are definitely one of our greatest challenges to date.

NEHC is looking forward to a great 2021. Please stay safe and adhere to all the regulations at the shows. It is with your help that we will continue to be able to compete. Have a good and safe year.
