We have had a great years fun showing the ponies this season, and look forwards to next season, although with all this wet weather we are starting to batten down the hatches for what could be a tough winter. It wasn’t just ourselves that had a great year, but I feel that N. Ireland Shetland exhibitors have all done well again, as a small region within the UK.  We would like to thank all our friends here for their friendship, and good fun this season, and wish them all the best for next year.
