NPS Scotland AGM & Prize Giving 2025

NPS Scotland held their AGM and 2025 Prize giving on Sunday 8^th February at Blair Drummond Hall, Stirling.  We had a pleasing turn out of members and friends who had travelled from Inverness to Dumfries to attend  and enjoy a chat and get together over lunch after the meeting and prize giving. 

DWH Dick (Transy Stud)  Commemorative Trophy

The DWH Dick Trophy presented in memory of the late Dougal Dick of Transy Stud to recognise exceptional breeding or performance was presented to Alistair Smith of the Bracklinn Stud by Sarah Ross (nee Dick). 

The Smith Family’s Bracklinn Fell ponies have had a tremendous success both in hand and under saddle throughout the UK, often featuring at the major breed shows and national competitions.  This year they had an exceptional run as they took supreme In Hand at our NPS Scotland Championships and reserve Overall Supreme of show at Scone Palace 2025, promptly followed by supreme champion at the Fell Pony Society breed show 2025 and Supreme Champion to finish the season at the NPS Scotland In Hand show.
