Viking Show 2019

The 28th Viking Shetland Pony Show was held on Sunday 18th August 2019 at the Cunningsburgh Showfield. This year’s judges were Jem Roberts in the Standard Ring, Jane Barry in the Performance Ring and Kay Gibb in the Small Ponies Ring. A lovely relaxed day was had by all, with the weather being favourable for the duration of the day. The organisers Kirsty, Sheena and Amanda decided to introduce a new class to the schedule this year, a long reining class. This was held at the start of the day to allow any pony/exhibitor to enter also allowing for a big contingent of spectators. A great success with seven entries forward on the day, with Nina Fraser and Ulverscroft Midnight Red coming out on top. Many thanks to the Filska Stud for sponsoring this class, and their generous prize money donation. Huge congratulations to Amanda Slater of the Breckenlea Stud for winning Supreme Champion with the handsome black with white socks miniature stallion Kerswell Starbuck. Also congratulations to the Reserve Supreme Champion Arnum of Auckhorn a black standard stallion exhibited by Allan Manson of the Hestigarth Stud. A great show of super quality ponies turned out to a high standard. Entries were up on last year with a total of 185 entries, and great to see some new faces, and some return to the showring who have not shown for a while. Massive thanks must go to all judges, stewards, Abigail Robertson for office duties on the day, sponsors, exhibitors and organisers.
