Pairs anyone?

September 6, 2010

The pairs classes (in-hand and ridden) at the Southern Show are both open to entries on the day and we'll be delighted to find you a partner if you'd like to take part but haven't a pair.

There are special rosettes in the in-hand pairs for the best pair by the same sire and the best pair out of the same dam (rosettes kindly sponsored by Denise Bumford - many thanks Denise!).  There are quite a few ponies entered this year who share a parent - check the catalogue to see if your pony has any relatives at the show and then ask at the Secretary's Tent and we'll introduce you.

We already have one black mare, approx 13.2'' with flowing mane and tail who would love a partner for the in-hand pairs - if your pony would like to do the in-hand pairs with her please let me know on mesgspringshow[at]fsmail.net

In-hand pairs: special rosettes for best pair by same sire, and best ...

Please return your trophies!

August 23, 2010
One of the great things about the Southern Show is that it is well endowed with trophies, and all you have to do is win almost any class and you can take home a trophy already engraved with lots of well-known Fell prefixes from years past which will then sit proudly on your mantlepiece for the next year, impressing your friends.

This means of course, that those of you who took home trophies last year need to remember to bring them back for this year's show, just in case you don't win them agai...

Pre-show meal

August 19, 2010
It's become something of a southern Fell tradition to have a pre-show meal before each of our big Fell shows, as people often have very long journeys to get to the show and so arrive the day before.  The meal provides a good opportunity to catch up with old friends and meet new ones, and anybody who is coming to the Southern for the first time shouldn't feel shy about going to the meal - there'll be plenty of people happy to talk Fell ponies all night with you! 

This year we are at the Chequer...
