NPS Scotland 60th Anniversary Event

What a brilliant event NPS Scotland held on Sunday 26^th September 2021 at SNEC, Oatridge College, Broxburn to celebrate 60 years of the National Pony Society in Scotland. We couldn’t have put on a more modern, practical, entertaining, and very educational day for all who attended. It was a showcase of professionalism and vision, that was thoroughly enjoyed by all those who attended.

Erik and Russell Mackechnie-Guire gave the most outstanding presentations and both did a fabulous job in turning the whole timetable of the day into practical scenarios, which was then supported by scientific evidence. No stone was left unturned. Tom Best was our excellent MC for the day who opened the day with a brief history of the NPS in Scotland, then kept the day running to time.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this event to celebrate the 60 years of the NPS in Scotland. A huge thank you to all the pony providers and helpers on the day and our very grateful thanks to the National Pony Society and the RHASS for their support of the event.
