The 2022 SPOTY (Scottish Pony of the Year) awards took place at the NPS Scotland AGM on 12^th February 2023.

The DWH Dick Trophy was awarded to Gillian McMurray of the Trailtrow Highland pony stud for 2023.

Unfortunately Gillian could not be with us at the AGM on 12^th February 2023 so the DWH Dick trophy was presented to Caroline Nelson who accepted  on behalf of Gillian McMurray of Trailtrow Highland Ponies by Sarah Ross of the Transy Stud.

This trophy is in memory of Dougal and his passion for sound breeding and good performance and the award is presented to a member of NPS Scotland who has excelled in either field.

AND THE WINNERS ARE!

At the AGM on Sun 12^th February the presentation of the 2022 Points Awards competition were presented.  In 2022 NPS Scotland offered this competition free to all their members and we had a fantastic entry with 27 log books returned for the Lady Fairfax Lucy competition which was won by Naomi Archibald and Annandale Maria who also won the best junior and best  Welsh section B.

The Treasure Island Trophy for the most points within Mountain and Moorland Ridden showing was won by Jessica Whiteford with Lynmore Glen, who was also the Best Shetland in the competition.

The Ridden Part Bred prize went to Lesley McNaughton- Wells with Roandale Saxon, the In Hand Mountain & Moorland to Emma-Jane Murray with Ochills Enchanted, and the In Hand Part Bred to Eleanor Crate with Bansky Royal Approval.

All prize winners received wonderful gifts and vouchers from our sponsor of this competition TICK TACK, and we are very grateful to Karen Laver for this much appreciated sponsorship.

This is a great competition that is open to members and non-members to recognise the versatility of the native breeds and we hopefully look forward to lots of entries for 2023.
