This class will be on Thursday, September 29, 2005, and will be judged by Bert Morland from the UK. He is a recognized National Pony Society and Ponies Association (UK) judge who is on all of the Mountain & Moorland Breed judging panels. Mr. Morland has over 40 years experience in judging British native ponies and is also a member of the Fell Pony Society Council (UK).

A NATIVE PONY EXHIBITION will also be held on September 29, and will include an instructional judging clinic.

The day will conclude with a PARADE OF BREEDS, once again showcasing all the British native ponies at this prestigious event!
