2008
The annual Shetland pony show and sale took place at the Shetland Rural Centre in Lerwick on Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd October 2008.
204 ponies from all over Shetland were catalogued for sale, a good proportion of which were purchased by local buyers and will remain in the Isles. The foals were mostly broken coloured or miniature and the filly foals and mares sold well, however demand was generally poor for the colt foals and overall average prices were down on the previous years.
The show was judged by Mr. Graham Milne from Huntly, his prizewinners and prices realised were as follows:
