Shows in May

There are a lot more shows to choose from in May.  I have my eye on three:

May 8th, White Rose County Show, a 'real' pony show, BSPS Area 3B. There are classes for in-hand and ridden shetlands, and the last time I attended (2008) there was a good entry, with the added bonus that year of several Falabellas - a minature horse breed not seen very often.  This is in the lovely and convenient location of Temple Newsam, in Leeds. Closing date 25th April.

May 21st, Otley Show, a good traditional agricultural show, well attended with lots of livestock classes, trade stands, and entertainments.  A small number of classes for Shetlands, also the Glynn Greenwood Mountain and Moorland classes.  A good day out.  Entries close 16th April.

May 30th, Warrington Horse Show, the real deal so far as horse shows are concerned.  Serious horse riding going on, but usually a good entry for Shetlands, and a great show to see lots of good horses.  A selection of trade stands, and a well run show. Closing date 5th May.
