2009

Shetland's annual pony show and sale took place at the Shetland Rural Centre in Lerwick on Thursday 8th and Friday 9th October 2009.

126 ponies from all over Shetland were sold and in recent years, a reasonable proportion of these were purchased by local buyers and will remain in the Isles. The filly foals, mostly broken coloured or miniature did best at the sale, however prices were generally down on last year. Colt foals did reach reasonable prices in the ring.

The show on Thursday evening was judged by Miss Sonja Flaws from Dunrossness and her prize-winners and prices realised were as follows:
