2012 Champion - the 4 year old British-bred stallion WFS Top Red pictured wearing his SPSS Thermatex Rug prize ridden by Linsay Coleridge Smith and owned by Sarah Steggall and Elaine Coleridge Smith |
2011 Champion - the German-bred 4 year old stallion Der Kleine Lord pictured wearing his SPSS Thermatex Rug prize, ridden by Erin Williams and owned by her mother, Clare. |
Having run as part of the British Dressage Breeding and Young Horse Championships for a number of years, with the reorganisation of the BD Young Horse classes in 2009, the Young Dressage Pony Championships did not run in 2010. However, the SPSS worked with BD to get this event restarted successfully in 2011. A report on last year's event with results is available here
Spectators are welcome at this event and a running order will be available including information about the breeding of each pony. The Bury Farm Clubhouse will be open serving hot and cold food and drinks and there will also be information about the SPSS and our graded stallions, mares and youngstock. |
