Hi, I have just moved to Holsworthy Devon with my Merrythorpe Fell Ponies. I have 5 Fells and a foal on the way and a Welsh sec D mare.
It is a joy having the girls at home after renting and livery-ing for many years. Bliss... post and rail after some very bad fencing and hay at £2 a bale after £4.75! yes this isnt a typing error.
We are used to going to the shows further North ( seems funny saying that) Windsor, Surrey, Kent, The RoyaI, so I would be delighted to get an idea of what is going on down here. The one downside is that we dont yet have a sandschool and my girls are getting so unfit, they think they are retired, but the road here is very fast and the locals drive with the pedal to the floor. This looks a great forum

Hi there, we also moved down here from Sussex and we're not far from you (in Langtree - Stibb Cross). Showing folk are a bit thin on the ground round here and we end up doing a fair amount of travelling to shows. Our nearest show is 'Holsworthy' and 'The Grange' is also not too far (about an hour - would be less for you). Good Luck for the coming season

Go on our association website www.southwestponyassociation.co.uk and you will find shows in the Southwest region that affiliate to us as well as SWPA shows too [two seperate places]. Our championships are on the 13/14 Sept at David Broome's which is just outside Chepstow, but our winter championships are at the Grange in May

Good Luck for the coming season Hi Kitty, Sussex..... my boyfriend Simon is still travelling every other week to see me from Alborne Susssex. We will definately go to Holsworthy Show and I will look up the Grange. What made you move! I am trying to convince BF.

Hi and welcome I am also in North Devon but in Barnstaple which is a bit further away from you - I have 3 Welsh D's and a shetland and am on the committee of South West Ponies - hope to see you at some of our shows.
