Last year I went to a very enjoyable show at Hanlith Hall, near Skipton, which was one of a series of shows leading up to a Trophy show for the overall winners in September. The series is running again this year, beginning on 10th April, and thereafter on 2nd Sunday in the month until the Trophy Show. This was a really nice show in a lovely location. Hanlith hall is steeped in history, and surrounded by extremely picturesque countryside. Lots of keen competitors there and a really nice friendly atmosphere in a very well run show. Classes are for Mountain and Moorland rather than specifically Shetland, but there was a good entry, and some really nice ponies there. A strong class of black ponies, and an interesting display of coloured horses of all types. There were no trade stands, but a little cafe run by the organisers to supplement your picnic. Well worth a look, in a lovely part of the country.
