Huge congratulations to Sarah Milnes ( owner) and Kerry Jagger ( handler ) who qualified the beautiful 3 year old Hunter Native Star for the Cuddy in a class of top quality horses and ponies . This horse has won practically every Hunter Championship that matters this season and thoroughly deserves her very belated place at HOYS.
Once again, Mountain and Moreland classes were sadly not supported well with a tiny handful of ponies in each class, and I just don't understand why , when Addington is now one of the most beautiful and well equipped, central show venues in the UK, you M&M people don't support this super show and take your last chance to qualify for the most coverted in hand championship in Showing ?
However, despite lack of entries in this section, the Reserve went to the lovely section B Thistledown Harper handled by Craig Elenor and owned by Sandy Anderson, and a huge well done to them.

I would guess that the VAST majority of M&M exhibitors didn't know that the BSHA had laid these classes on. I doubt it would be the first schedule/society that an M&M enthusiast would reach for when looking to take their pony out for some in hand. I only knew about the classes when someone mentioned them to me in passing. Maybe the BSHA need to advertise these better.

Hi Paul. Yes I agree with you, which is why I wrote a similar post last year, and will be calling the BSHA office and urging them to notify Breed Societies and the NPS ---------------Yet Again !

And we did do this!! last year it was too late to get into the breed books – this year it was done!! also it was advertised on FB lots as well

We also have a job to attract MM in hand entries to our show with a Cuddy and partly we think it is because we are just before RW but I dont think that has a great impact the Welsh showing fraternity are more interested in showing at top level amongst their peers and only a handfull aim for a Cuddy place but the ones that do are very likely to qualify and win the final !

Interesting ! I am just praying that G M doesn't take the qualification away , it would be such a terrible shame. Some suggested that all the classes should be held along with the regular In Hand classes on Saturday with the Cuddy final held at night, but that would mean total relegation to the bottom rings, and although I'm pretty sure there would be room and time, especially if classes like "light Horse Breeding " which is obviously just a money making section for Hacks and Riding horses etc to have another go at qualifying , were dropped, to me, it would be a shame, when yesterday was such a lovely occasion enabling people to watch the classes in the top rings in such a beautiful location---------------the sun being out certainly adding to it of course.
I just hope that next year, it is better supported. The BSHA and Addington deserve that.

If you are not on the Welsh fraternities list of must go shows it probably will remain much the same. There are a lot of local Welshies as seen out at Riding Club level but its very difficult to get them to enter.

It's not just welsh though, we have Fells and knew nothing about it and I looked on the BSHA website earlier and it wasn't easy to find a schedule.
People rely on facebook for everything these days but I'm not on it. Maybe having a listing on the FPS events page might give us fell people a chance of knowing about it.
Do you have to become a BSHA member to compete?

Post by specialsparkle3 on Sept 12, 2016 17:46:37 GMT
Whether the Welsh fraternity choose to compete ( although some , including Llanarth Stud did ) or not , there are 8 other breeds of M&M in the UK who will be made very welcome, along with more entries from the Riding Pony Breeding fraternity. I really hope they will, if indeed, the opportunity is still there next year.
PS, no, of course you don't have to be a member of the BSHA to compete. It's just like any other Show with a Cuddy Qualifier.

I would imagine if people were interested in the Cuddy Qualifiers they would of looked on the HOYS website as aren't all the qualifiers listed on there! it was local so we went!

On the BSHA website it has a section for in-hand and does say that all in-hand exhibitors are required to be a member of the association this could be what is putting people off I'm with a few others when I say I didn't know the classes existed and had I known I wouldn't have been sure whether you could just enter a class at a champ show not having qualified. Now I know I may well have a go next year

Thanks for that information Toaster. I have already had a long chat with the show Secretary, but I shall call him again and mention what the website says, because that is definitely misleading .

when Addington is now one of the most beautiful and well equipped, central show venues in the UK Its hardly a central show venue when its in the south lol!

Oh really? I do not class Buckinghamshire as the south, but I suppose it depends on how north you live .

It's 3 hours north of me on a good day or about 5 if the M25 is dodgy as normal - all relative I guess. This argument always rolls around and if we don't want to travel we should all live in the midlands which is not going to happen.

Great venue and realistically probably the best option.
Moving the SHB show to staffordshire from Addington has killed it - in most classes they didn't have enough entries for top nine and it was massively unsupported by key professionals and amateurs. Being 5 hours from me ruled it out, a shame as always a show I enjoyed
Realistically there are few places that can support these larger long shows, in terms of rings and facilities, plus stabling etc. Also have to consider where and when qualifiers are awarded as there are implications there as well
Nothing will keep everyone happy!
