The ponies are always a favourite of mine - I am so impressed at the huge improvement in quality that the riding pony blood has made to horses in this size category. All of the ponies in the top ten classes of both size groups were breedy, moved very well and were managed beautifully by their riders. I enjoyed watching them and hope that this report enable you to enjoy the top ten with me. The judge Miss Debbie Peach from South Australia would have had to really concentrate to pick a difference - but there can only be one winner and she would have needed to be very picky to find faults. |

Rhyl Matinee and Marcia Beard - they had a great 2002 Barastoc having won the Newcomers Small Pony yesterday - | ||||
 |
Rhyl Matinee is only
three years old - what a future. Marcia is a former Young Rider Champion. |

 |
Phantom Park Empress and Linda Hayes - the lovely black mare worked very well and her rhythm impressed me | ||||
 |
For Linda Hayes and Empress it was a foot perfect performance - I thought they may have had it ... | ||||
 |
I could almost feel the 'butterflies' as they waited for the judge's decision. | ||||
