In light of the current situation with the Covid-19 virus and the likelihood that the situation will worsen in the coming weeks and months, it is with a very heavy heart that NPS Scotland is advising it’s members, exhibitors and friends that the NPS Scotland Committee has taken the difficult decision to cancel our Spring Show scheduled for 25^th and 26^th April 2020 at SNEC, Oatridge College, Ecclesmachan.

We have a duty of care to all our members, exhibitors, judges, officials, volunteers and committee and feel that in the current circumstances it wouldn’t be correct or responsible for us to proceed with the event at this particular time.  We will review our other events shortly and revert back to you with decisions relating to them.

If you have any queries, please contact the NPS Scotland Secretary or myself and take care in these very difficult times.

Some exciting news for 2020 is the introduction of a new Junior Ridden Championship to be held at our Blair Castle Finals.  This will be called the NPS Scotland/Maggie May Junior Ridden Final and we are currently in the throes of inviting shows to hold qualifiers.  Those shows who already hold stand-alone Junior Ridden classes will be invited to host qualifiers and selected shows will be asked to present qualifying cards to the highest placed juniors in Open Ridden classes.

We will see how it runs in 2020 and then hopefully develop it further.  There will be two classes at the Final as detailed below.

• Junior Ridden M&M Small Breeds.  Open to Dartmoor, Exmoor, Shetland, Welsh Section A and Welsh Section B ponies.  Riders not to have attained their 14^th birthday before 1^st January in the current year.

A report from Nicola on how she has used the bursary…

Receiving the training bursary has been an amazing opportunity for Rohan and I. With the training bursary we have been travelling down to Perth for lessons with Kirsty Aird. During the lessons we have worked on improving Rohan’s paces and way of going for the showing world and started some jumping. These lessons have really given us the kick start we needed to improve our jumping.

I plan to carry on these lessons with Kirsty as she has been a massive help. With the help from Kirsty, Rohan and I have had some amazing results this year including being placed 9th at Blair Horse Trials in the NPS Novice Ridden M&M and being 1st on the MyQuest leaderboard for the U21 Prelim section in Scotland.

Thank you very much for providing me with this training bursary.
