Show - Thursday 6th October - evening Sale - Friday 7th October 9.30am  Shetland Livestock Marketing Centre

The annual Lerwick Pony Sale was held on Friday 7th October at the Shetland Rural Centre. After a 2 year break, the PBSA were delighted that the Sale Show could go ahead on the Thursday evening. Thanks must go to Mr Ian Spence who travelled up to judge at the show. An array of sizes and colours were forward to suit a range of buyers, with ponies being very well presented and of a high quality overall.

Yet again the online bidding facility proved invaluable with a large percentage being sold online, combined with a full ringside of keen bidders prices were good, particularly for good quality, well presented ponies. The sale was watched worldwide through the online bidding facility. The PBSA must express thanks to the vendors who provided numerous photographs and videos of the lots in advance of the sale, allowing for the ponies and the sale as a whole to be promoted greatly in the lead up to the day.

Much to the relief of SLMG staff and the PBSA, all ponies due to be shipped made it safely on the ferry on Friday night, despite the unsettled weather leading up to the sale day.

The top price of the day went to the Champion, a lovely miniature chestnut mare Glenbogie Fairytale from Carole Laignel who sold for 2500gns. Reserve Show Champion was the 3year old miniature chestnut filly exhibited by Lynn Johnson; Hjaltland Berry who sold for 2250gns. Best Overall Foal was Filska Victory who sold for 280gns.
