Viking 2015

The 24th annual Viking Shetland Pony Show was held on Sunday 16th of August at Seafield, Lerwick and competitors and spectators enjoyed a day of beautiful sunshine and clear skies.

Three judges, Mrs J Jones, Mrs G Cowell and Mrs A Sargeant all travelled up from England to judge the 166 entries across the three rings; miniature, standard and Performance ponies.

The judges commented on the quality and presentation of ponies as well as the high standard of ponies and our younger exhibitors in the Performance Ring.

Supreme Champion of the Show was Robins Brae Stud with their three year old miniature filly ‘Robins Brae Quartz’ who also took the title of Junior Champion, Miniature Ring Champion, best Island Bred and best coloured pony. Reserve Supreme went to S & J Rendall of Hollydell Stud with their Standard Stallion ‘Strauss of Auckhorn’ who also took the title of Senior Champion in the Standard ring and best black. Performance Ring Champion went to the Budge family with ‘Clothie Night Lightning’ and ‘Hollydell Hazard’ ridden by Rebecca Fraser took reserve. Ridden Pony Champion was won also by ‘Hollydell Hazard’ ridden by Rebecca Fraser and reserve was ‘Yitter of Grutness’ ridden by Bethany Dickie. Supreme Foal Champion also went to Robin's Brae Stud with their miniature filly foal Robin's Brae Topaz.

The organisers of the Show wish to thank their Show Sponsor Harbro Ltd, Performance ring sponsor A Jarmson (Shetland) Ltd, Standard Ring sponsor S J Rendall and miniature Ring sponsor Anderson & Co for their generosity and support.

A special mention must be given to all our Stewards and runners who kept the show running smoothly all day and to the many class sponsors and individuals who contributed to the success of the show. Thank you all.
