2007

The annual Shetland Pony Show and Sale took place at the Shetland Rural Centre in Lerwick on 4th and 5th October.

In total 211 ponies from all over Shetland were catalogued for sale, approximately 40 more than the previous year. The majority of the ponies were foals, most of which were broken coloured or miniature. The prices were fairly steady and reasonable amounts were paid for all those sold; only a few ponies were withdrawn from the ring unsold.

The show on Thursday evening was judged by Mr Jeff McMaster from Cumbria and his prize winners and prices realised were as follows:
