Instead, a riding lesson at three years old sparked a passion for ponies, fuelled by hours spent with her great uncle’s Welsh ponies and point–to-pointers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As teens, Bethan and her younger sister began showing in flat, working hunter and in-hand classes, as well as breeding their own ponies. Whilst they have stuck predominantly to the Welsh breeds, there have been forays into the other sections and breeds. They have progressed from grassroots level to wins at shows up and down the country, from the Royal Highland to the New Forest, and have each won ridden championships at the Royal Welsh.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Their Welsh section C stallion, Yrallt Mayday Surprise (Jim) almost made history as the first Welsh section C to take the RIHS championship but finished in reserve, only to become the first and only one of his breed to win the mountain and moorland championship at HOYS later that year. Their Welsh section D stallion, Ballynacoy Prince, also boasts a win and reserve championship at HOYS. Jim and Prince both stood Best of Breed at London International and enjoyed further fame when Jim was invited to meet The Queen (Elizabeth II), and Prince starred alongside Bethan and TV and radio presenter Adrian Chiles in an episode of Welsh documentary series, &lt;em&gt;Iaith Ar Daith&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bethan began her career as a teacher, before taking the opportunity to marry her love for horses with writing as a journalist and editor. She is also a Welsh language commentator, providing live coverage of Welsh equestrian events including the Royal Welsh and Royal Welsh Winter Fair, and has presented the HOYS breeders awards and the SEIB British Showing World Awards.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

The top two unqualified combinations who gained the most points in each class have been awarded tickets.</p><p>The series, which is in its second year, has garnered significant support this season.</p><p>“We’ve had a lot of keen riders and parents who have been eagerly keeping an eye on the leaderboard,” said Debbie Miller from UKPH. “The main aim is to reward our members for their consistency and hard work during the season.”</p><p>Points were awarded on a sliding scale to sixth place, with the second-placed competitor receiving five points, third four points, and so on. If there were fewer than six competitors forward, the second-placed combination received two points. The following combinations are now through to the RIHS final:</p><p><strong>Small breeds:</strong> Hope Ghosts Little Boy and Ella Eynon/Millford Fair Bouncer and Lola Carabine</p><p><strong>Large breeds:</strong> Oakmill Horatio and Scarlett Tharme, and Brynfa Jolly Roger and Scarlett Marshall</p><p><strong>Intermediates:</strong> Fourmerk Rosalyn and Lucy Dyer, and Conway Clara Brown Alicia Davidson</p><p><strong>Amateur:</strong> Stowbrook Red Kite and Davinia Johnson, and Kiltiernan Storm and Brooke Corbett</p><p>“We had eight very excited riders; I definitely don’t mind making those kinds of phone calls,” said Debbie.</p><p>Davinia Johnson topped the amateur points scheme with her <a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//tag/exmoor-pony" data-original-url="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/tag/exmoor-pony">Exmoor</a> Stowbrook Red Kite.</p><p>“I was super shocked to get the ticket, as the amateurs is such a tough class due to the fact it’s open to all the M&M breeds,” said Davinia. “My boyfriend videoed my phone call as I was so excited.</p><p>“I’ve really enjoyed doing the qualifiers, especially as Kite has been the only small breed in the class sometimes. It’s a super series and I’ve made so many new friends on the way.”</p><p><em><strong>You might also be interested in:</strong></em></p><p><em>Horse & Hound magazine, out every Thursday, is packed with all the latest news and reports, as well as interviews, specials, nostalgia, vet and training advice.

                                <p>The showing society is no longer trading as Ponies Association (UK), following a High Court claim brought by its former chairman and her partner, but will continue under a new name. H&H finds out more about the case...</p><p>A major showing organisation has “ceased trading” and transferred its business to a new company following a legal wrangle with a former chairman and her partner.</p><p>Ponies Association (UK) closed on 21 May and has transferred to the new company UK Horses & Ponies Ltd on 31 May.</p><p>Carol Cooper was a member of P(UK) since its formation in October 1988 and served as chairman from 2017 to 2019. Her partner, Tolga Falahat, joined as a member in 2018. Both memberships were terminated by P(UK) earlier this year.</p><p>The High Court claim brought by the pair, dated 7 May, hinged on disputes over the management of the organisation — including whether certain members of the council should legally be allowed to hold the positions they did.</p><p>It also centred on whether there was “good and sufficient reason” to terminate Ms Cooper and Mr Falahat’s memberships, along with the handling of the dispute and whether the pair were given a fair chance to defend themselves against the allegations before the decision was made.</p><p>The announcement from P(UK) on 1 June states that the company has ceased trading as a result of further High Court legal action threatened by solicitors acting for Ms Cooper and Mr Falahat “arising out of the entirely valid termination of their memberships”.</p><p>“Council has decided that it would be an inappropriate spend of the associations resources to fund a defence to these proceedings,” it states.</p><p>“Although council has been advised that any defence of such proceedings would be successful, as is usual in legal proceedings, the association would only recover approximately 70% of its costs.”</p><p>It continues that UK Ponies & Horses Limited has similar objects to P(UK), council members will be automatically transferred, and all other members will hold the same class of membership for the remainder of the membership year. It has also adopted the same rule book.</p><p>“Needless to say, Carol Cooper and Tolga Falahat will not be admitted as members of UK Ponies & Horses Limited,” it adds. “The aim is to make the transition as seamless as possible, and most members should experience very little change.”</p><p>Ms Cooper told <em>H&H</em> she is “heartbroken” at the news P(UK) has ceased trading, having been a life member since its formation and her late mother was patron of the society.</p><p>She added she has “very fond memories” of P(UK) and was passionately involved in organising shows and events for many years.</p><p>“My ambition was always to serve the membership and build on the foundations of P(UK),” she said.</p><p>“At the onset of my appointment as a director it became apparent that there were significant challenges to revive the weakening membership numbers that the association relies on as source of income.</p><p>“We needed to adapt to the changing trends in showing and provide our members events to meet today’s equestrian demands.”</p><p>She added the balls hosted in 2018 and 2019 were a “great success in putting the society back in the limelight”; opening shows to non-members plus new sections and qualifiers from 2017 provided “much-needed funds”; plus the organisation secured Horse of the Year Show sponsorship and qualifiers for 2019.</p><p>“As a result, the financial position of P(UK) began to improving during 2018,” she said.</p><p>“The organisation had to make changes to manage costs, conflicts of interest, and become more transparent to its members in the selection process for judges, and affiliated shows.”</p><p>Ms Cooper continued: “Sadly, the path taken by P(UK) council since early 2019 when my chairmanship was terminated does not represent the vision I shared.</p><p>“In recent months there have been false allegations towards myself, and other members, which are extremely distressing. Despite many attempts to resolve the matter amicably P(UK) council have taken the unilateral decision to cease P(UK) as a viable going concern without involving the membership and myself in the decision-making process.”</p><p><em><strong>You may also be interested in…</strong></em></p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div

                                <p>If you’ve decided your horse or pony is destined for a career under the bright lights of the show ring, but you’re completely new to the discipline — or competitions in general — you’ve got an exciting yet challenging road ahead.</p><p><strong>Here are 12 things you should do before you head to your first show this season:</strong></p><h3 id="1-decide-what-class-you-re-going-in">1. Decide what class you’re going in</h3><p>Not sure what weight your hunter is? Not sure if you’re horse is a novice or an open? Tackle this by studying rule books, reading society descriptions, getting out to shows on foot and speaking to professionals, who are usually more than happy to share their tips.</p><h3 id="2-join-the-right-societies">2. Join the right societies</h3><p>There are several showing societies on offer. Ensure you pick the right one <a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//features/showing-societies-membership-642473" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-original-url="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/features/showing-societies-membership-642473">here.</a></p><h3 id="3-get-your-horse-show-fit">3. Get your horse show fit</h3><p>He’s not meant to look like he’s running in the Grand National, but he’s also not meant to look like he’s spent a bit too long enjoying that lush summer grass. Fit not fat is the key. Overly porky horses are usually penalised.</p><h3 id="4-practice-a-go-round">4. Practice a go-round</h3><p>Cantering around with 30 other horses in a grass arena with potentially hundreds of spectators is a scary prospect for any novice rider, let alone a novice horse. If your horse is completely new to the ring, recruit some buddies to help you out at home. Practice riding past each other in all paces. If you’re required to gallop on the go-round, make sure your horse knows when to give it his all (and when to stop)!</p><div><blockquote><p>Explore ways to boost your confidence and become a more competitive rider with Horse & Hound’s new online rider confidence course</p></blockquote></div><h3 id="5-attend-some-showing-clinics">5. Attend some showing clinics</h3><p>The show scene usually has loads of clinics held by well-respected riders and trainers up and down the country throughout winter and spring. Heading out to a clinic held specifically by a showing expert can give you some extra insight into the performance requirements you will need on show day. It pays to get ahead.</p><h3 id="6-service-your-lorry">6. Service your lorry</h3><p>You’ll be clocking up some serious miles on your trips to shows, especially if you live in the north.</p><h3 id="7-invest-in-a-statement-jacket">7. Invest in a statement jacket</h3><p>Of course, the judge will (or should) be looking at your horse when you’re performing in the ring, but ensuring the rider looks the part can make a huge difference to the overall picture. Make sure you stand out for the crowd by picking a unique yet traditional tweed or competition jacket you maybe haven’t seen before. Also, make sure you’ve got the correct jodhpurs and boots.</p><h3 id="8-get-your-horse-some-decent-pre-show-gear">8. Get your horse some decent pre-show gear</h3><p>Even if you’re lucky enough to own a bay or black horse with minimal mane and feather, you’re wise to invest in some clothing that your horse only wears the night before an outing. A lyrca bodysuit can turn a clean coat into a gleaming coat and some leg wraps can help stop hay and shavings sticking to wet legs. And if your horse is grey, good luck to you…</p><h3 id="9-find-a-groom">9. Find a groom</h3><p>Or several. Bribe friends to come and help you on show day with the promise of a free picnic and maybe some bubbles.</p><h3 id="10-keep-an-eye-on-closing-dates">10. Keep an eye on closing dates</h3><p>It’s all well and good starting out the new year with a diary packed with summer show dates, but if you miss the sometimes very early entry closing dates, you won’t be attending any of them. Most county shows have serious amounts of admin to get through so expect entries to shut about three or four months prior to the actual day of the show. Make planning a prerogative!</p><h3 id="11-know-your-judges">11. Know your judges</h3><p>If you’re a complete newbie, it can be difficult to know who likes and dislikes your horse. Speak to others who have shown under a certain judge to see if you can gauge what they like to see and what pet hates they might have. Remember that even if a judge might not like a certain ‘type’ of animal, nailing your performance on the day could really boost your placing.</p><h3 id="12-don-t-get-discouraged">12. Don’t get discouraged</h3><h2 id="it-can-take-a-while-to-learn-the-ropes-and-get-with-the-show-ring-programme-but-stay-positive-everyone-has-to-start-somewhere">It can take a while to learn the ropes and get with the show ring programme.

Davina has been a board member since then and took over as chairman in 1995.</p><p>“All board members are re-elected every three years and I did say I would not be standing again,” said Davina. <strong>“I am 76, and feel I have done my bit – I have been totally involved with horses and ponies since I started riding professionally as a child</strong> so it’s now time to do some of the things that ‘normal’ people do.</p><p>“I will continue to support the society and carry on judging, but <strong>the time comes when there are other things to do in life</strong> and I have already made a ‘bucket list’ of places I want to visit.”</p><p>Acting chairman Julie Templeton said: <strong>“The society has huge boots to fill with Davina’s departure</strong> – we are all very sad to see her go. She was amazing for Ponies UK – in fact <strong>she <em>was</em> Ponies UK</strong> and she will be very much missed.”</p><p>For the first time since 1953, when it began under the auspices of Ponies of Britain, <strong>the traditional summer championship show is not scheduled to take place this year.</strong></p><p>The original show was held on Ascot racecourse and moved to Eastfield Road, Peterborough, in 1956. It has been held at the East of England showground since the mid-60s and at its peak, in 2000, drew 12,645 entries from more than 4,000 animals in 800-plus classes over five days.</p><p><strong>Related articles:</strong></p><ul><li><strong><a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//news/dismay-as-ponies-uk-championship-entries-fall-504999" data-original-url="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/news/dismay-as-ponies-uk-championship-entries-fall-504999">Dismay as Ponies (UK) championship entries fall</a></strong></li><li><strong><a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//features/ponies-uk-winter-classic-pictures-480452" data-original-url="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/features/ponies-uk-winter-classic-pictures-480452">Were you snapped at Ponies (UK) winter classic?

This year we would probably have taken more along but the date was too close to the Mid Herts and the RIHS. <strong>It is so sad the show wasn’t better supported</strong>.”</p><p>However, a spokesman for Grandstand Media told <em>H&H</em> that P(UK) was offered the venue and dates at Stoneleigh Park for its championship show, but it “chose to take the show to a new location”.</p><p>“As ever the venue is accessible for all societies to host their championships here,” said a spokesman. “In 2015 HOYS decided to reduce the number of qualifiers. <strong>The decision on which qualifiers were reduced was in direct relation to decreasing entry numbers at those shows</strong>.</p><p>“Before any difficult decision to remove a show’s qualifiers is made, we advise those with the lowest entries that their HOYS qualifiers may be removed if an increase is not seen. We always aim to provide two years’ notice for those shows to address entries and support. Unfortunately entry numbers did not increase within this time frame resulting in the removal of the qualifiers.”</p><p>However <strong>a P(UK) spokesman refuted the claim they were offered Stoneleigh Park and alternative dates</strong> to run their 2015 summer championship show.</p><p>“At no time was the association given any prior notice that they could possibly lose them due to decreasing entries,” added the spokesman.</p><p>For full P(UK) report see this week’s <em>H&H</em>.</p><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.

I imagine fewer people will bother to go.”</p><p>Mrs Whiteman added that P(UK) did not expect all 700 horses that currently compete to travel to Buckinghamshire.</p><p><strong>This article was first published in Horse & Hound (30 September, ’10)</strong></p><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.

                                <p><strong>Former racehorse trainer Jenny Pitman is the new president of showing association Ponies (UK)</strong>.</p><p>“Jenny’s love and involvement with horses has led to her taking on this important role as the president,” said a spokesman for Ponies (UK).</p><p>“This association is a very broad church and most of the innovations that are now part of the showing world were initiated at the P(UK) Championships. And many of the UK’s international eventing, show jumping and dressage stars began their careers within the showring at Ponies (UK).</p><p>“<strong>Jenny with her diverse interests will be an enormous support to the association with the training of judges</strong> and the development of the Jenny Pitman and Heros Challenge for the Racehorse to Riding Horse series.”</p><p>Jenny started her career with horses in 1975 working in a racing yard and was the <strong>first woman to be granted a professional trainers license</strong>.</p><p>She then <strong>became the first woman to train a Grand National winner</strong> (Corbiere in 1983).</p><p>Throughout her career as a trainer she won two Grand Nationals, three Welsh Nationals and two Cheltenham Gold Cups.</p><p>In <strong>1998 she was awarded an OBE for services to horseracing</strong> and retired from training in 1999.</p><p>Jenny told H&H: “I feel very honoured to have been asked to be president. I love going to shows and have learnt an awful lot about showing since I retired from training.</p><p>Jenny’s nephew Jack Bowlby, 13, shows Welsh ponies and has a Connemara, and her sister’s horse Ironman Muldoon (full brother to 1995 Grand National winner Royal Athlete — trained by Jenny) won the Retraining of Racehorse show championship at Horse of the Year Show last year.</p><p>“It was immensely rewarding to see him go so well. It was unbelievably tense though — it takes three times longer than the Grand National and you can’t tell how they’re doing during it, only the judge knows.”</p><p>And Jenny has just bought a Connemara. “Hopefully we’ll have a bit of fun with the pony, fingers crossed,” she said.</p><p>Jenny takes over from Susan, Countess of Swinton.</p><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.

                                <p>Newbury showground and Ponies (UK) are investigating an incident where a yearling filly was seriously injured at a show held over the May Day bank holiday weekend.</p><p>The filly, Lillykai, was spooked while being led beside a yearling colt along a public walkway to the in-hand ring at the P(UK) South show on Sunday, 4 May. While reports from spectators and her owner are conflicting, it appears the filly bolted and became entangled in the ropes and metal-spiked “pigtail” posts of a nearby collecting ring, and with the lunge-line being used to lead her.</p><p>“Her leg was stripped like a banana, it was an absolute mess,” said owner Babette Cole of Holnest Park Stud. “She was spooked by a burger van while being led along a public walkway to a ring that was a distance from the lorry park.</p><p>“My grooms were both hurt as was a member of the public who tried to catch ‘Lilly’. It could have so easily been avoided.”</p><p>While Miss Cole maintains the metal spike holding up the collecting ring rope was to blame for the injury, Kate Wilson, the vet called to the scene, cannot confirm what caused the damage.</p><p>“Lilly has lacerated the extensor tendon on the front of her left hind cannon bone, and scraped the bone,” said Ms Wilson. “She also has a wound that just missed her fetlock — but I can’t say the spike definitely caused the damage.”</p><p>P(UK) chairman Davina Whiteman told H&H that the incident was a “chapter of unfortunate accidents”.</p><p>“We did express concern [to Newbury Showground] about the spiked posts, but it came down to cost — we were sharing facilities with another show the next day, so could not pay for them to be changed. But I accept that’s no excuse.”</p><p>Ms Whiteman maintains it is not P(UK) practice to use metal posts, but says the society is likely to put a blanket ban on their use.</p><p>“We will be looking at alternatives for the whole industry to use,” she said. “But undoubtedly we all have lessons to learn from this — competitors, organisers</p><p>and showgrounds.”</p><p>Ms Whiteman said the case highlighted the difficulties of holding in-hand classes at public events, and said P(UK) had to advise people not to lead horses side-by-side at busy shows, and to promote the best and easiest ways to get to and from rings.</p><p>A spokesman for Newbury Showground said it was awaiting full details of the incident before launching an inquiry or making any further comment.</p><p>“Nothing like this has happened at Newbury before,” said the spokesman.</p><p><strong>This news story was first published in Horse & Hound (15 May, ’08).

He loved it out there, and felt on song all the way through” said Emily, who rides and looks after her ponies at home.</p><p>The final Hindley Cup, presented to the supreme champion of show went to Lesley-Bishop Milnes’s Wayward Silhouette.

                                <p>Davina Whiteman has been re-elected as chairman of the troubled showing society Ponies (UK) only weeks after stepping down from the day-to-day running of the organisation. Meanwhile, another board member has resigned.</p><p>Mrs Whiteman told Horse & Hound she was “disappointed” by Jon Phillips’s decision to step down after three years with P(UK), but was “very excited” about the four new board members who joined the organisation at the AGM on 19 November. They include Tracy Hullat, who takes over Mrs Whiteman’s former role of chief operations officer, and new vice-chairman Pat Campbell.</p><p>“Our new members are very experienced,” said Mrs Whiteman, “and they will be taking a broader look at the company. We have lots of exciting plans for the years ahead.”</p><p>But Mr Phillips, who was re-elected at the AGM prior to standing down, told H&H he felt “trapped” at P(UK) and believed he was no longer able to represent the best interests of the organisation’s members.</p><p>He added: “I wish P(UK) the very best for the future, but I believe that unless some very severe measures are taken to facilitate a true members’ association with transparent board and executive reporting, the future that I and a few others fought so hard to establish is in danger. I’m very disappointed that it has come to this.”</p><p>Mr Phillips added that he was “bitterly opposed” to the growing costs of belonging to the society. Adult membership, which is held by approximately 2,500 individuals, has risen from £35 a year ago to £50. Mr Phillips said that a family with two children and a couple of ponies could easily spend £200 on membership fees.</p><p>Mrs Whiteman told H&H that this year, for the first time, membership levels had not grown. However, she stressed that this was common to all show societies and not just P(UK).</p><p>But the organisation has endured a difficult year. Infighting and calls for Mrs Whiteman’s resignation came to a head in August after the clapometer — devised by Mrs Whiteman — was widely derided when introduced at the Summer Championships.</p><p>Mrs Whiteman, who has been at the helm of P(UK) since 1989 and is an honorary life member, then stepped down from the day-to-day running of the organisation after rumours of financial difficulties.</p><p>Events manager Betsy Branyan resigned shortly before the AGM. But despite these changes to the board, Mrs Whiteman said she believes members will reap rewards in the year ahead.</p><p>She explained: “A lot of the hard work we’ve put in over the years finally looks to be coming to fruition.”</p><ul><li>Read this news story in full in today’s Horse & Hound (21 December, ’06)</li></ul><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.

                                <p>Chairman of Ponies (UK) Davina Whiteman has “retired from the day-to-day running” of the beleaguered showing organisation.</p><p>On Monday, P(UK) board members met “informally” and a statement released at 3pm read: “Davina will remain as chairman in a consultancy role. . . A new chief operations officer will be appointed and be advertised [for] shortly.”</p><p>Mrs Whiteman was asked to resign after the summer championships at a directors’ meeting on 22 August. But Mrs Whiteman refused to go, and over the past fortnight the situation has been coming to a head.</p><p>Rumours of a financial crisis were heightened after P(UK)’s website collapsed for days; members bemoaned hikes in membership fees and one winner contacted the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) after a class advertised as carrying prize-money of £1,000 turned out to be worth only £35.</p><p>But board director Jon Phillips told H&H the organisation had no financial concerns and that it was in “fine shape”.</p><p>Mr Phillips was himself at the centre of gossip on one showing forum, which suggested he intends to succeed Davina Whiteman. Mr Phillips said that he had “absolutely no intention” of taking over at P(UK).</p><p>“I don’t have the time it deserves — it’s a full-time job and I have my own businesses to run,” he added.</p><p>When contacted by H&H, Davina Whiteman declined to comment.</p><p><strong><font size="2">Read this news story in full in today’s issue of Horse & Hound (5 October, ’06)</font></strong></p><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.

                                <p>Ponies UK’s directors have asked for chairman Davina Whiteman’s resignation at the same time as her brainchild — a “clap-o-meter”, by which audiences were invited to judge at the summer championships by clapping hardest for their winner — bombed under the weight of widespread criticism.</p><p>In the world of showing, where the rumour mill invariably pre-empts official news, Mrs Whiteman’s predicament last week remained largely under wraps.</p><p>H&H can reveal a P(UK) directors’ meeting was held on 22 August, after which Mrs Whiteman was asked to resign. P(UK) events manager Betsy Branyan confirmed this, but stressed Mrs Whiteman, who was in France as H&H went to press, remained the chairman and had not resigned.</p><p>Two directors also confirmed Mrs Whiteman had been asked to stand down, but declined to comment further.</p><p>On the issue of the clap-o-meter, Ms Branyan said P(UK) accepted the new initiative was “not popular”, drawing criticism from judges and exhibitors. Its future use is under review.</p><p>“It didn’t work: the judges felt undermined and exhibitors were unhappy because they had paid for a judge’s opinion,” she said. “There may potentially still be a place for a clap-o-meter in costume or concours classes, but people didn’t like it being used for premier championships.”</p><p>The clap-o-meter, which read the decibel level of applause — was used in nine premiers at the P(UK) summer championship show (15-19 August). It was supplied by Ace Communications, which provided public address systems at the Newark & Notts showground.</p><p>Of the premiers decided by the clap-o-meter, only the top four competitors were ultimately judged according to a decibel reading of the crowd’s reaction during evening shows.</p><p>One competitor, Tonie Finch, of Essex, who contacted H&H, was devastated after a “human error” in reading the clap-o-meter demoted her from reserve champion to second reserve (see letters page, H&H 31 October).</p><p>In response, Ms Branyan said the unfortunate error had nothing to do with the accuracy of the clap-o-meter, adding that Mrs Finch was allowed to keep the same prize money and sash.</p><p>Mrs Finch, who started showing six months ago, coming from a dressage background, said she would never again enter a class judged by a clap-o-meter.</p><p>“Everyone at the show called it ‘the crap-o-meter’,” she said. “I felt it was a really unfair and biased way to judge a class — basically, whoever has the most friends in the crowd, who can scream and shout the loudest.”</p><p>Producer Nigel Hollings — also aware of the “crap-o-meter” tag — said: “It was always doomed to fail because of safety reasons and people cottoning on they can bring a rent-a-crowd.”</p><p>Ms Branyan said the clap-o-meter, conceived by Davina Whiteman, was “to stop chit-chat at the beginning of the season about how honest the judges are”, and to encourage greater audience participation.</p><p>Pony producer/judge Julia Ryde-Rogers, who entered in-hand classes not judged by the clap-o-meter, said: “Had I been in a ridden class with a young nervous animal, I would have thought twice about entering if a clap-o-meter was involved.”</p><p>Ros Hargreaves, a judge for more than 20 years, agreed that the clap-o-meter undermined judges and posed a potential health and safety hazard.</p><p>Both women were shocked to hear of P(UK) directors’ calls for Davina Whiteman to resign.</p><p>“I’ve known Davina my whole life and my father knew her before me, and had a great deal of respect for her,” said Ms Ryde-Rogers. “People who haven’t been showing for very long may not fully appreciate the depth of her knowledge and experience.”</p><p>Miss Hargreaves said: “Davina has been a very forward-thinking person in the development of the showing world and instigating new classes.”</p><p>Nigel Hollings, who was trained by Mrs Whiteman in the 1970s said: “On a personal level, I’m very sorry for Davina, but we are living in a commercial world in showing and these things happen.”</p><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.

                                <p>Ponies UK (PUK) is to use a “clapometer” to judge its summer championship show evening performances (15-19 August), raising fears over safety for participants. After each individual show, the audience will be invited to judge by applause and their reaction measured by a sound detector.</p><p>Sound detectors have been used to judge the Winston Churchill Supreme Championship at the Royal International Horse Show, but are new to the PUK Championships.</p><p>“It’s irresponsible putting safety on the line for entertainment,” said Nigel Hollings, adding that he would withdraw any pony entered for a class judged by a clapometer.</p><p>PUK chairman Davina Whiteman defended the initiative, saying: “There are concerns that clapping will disturb the animals, but traditionally evening performances are noisy anyway, and this way the noise will only occur at a designated time.”</p><p>The audience will only be allowed to clap once a rider’s performance is finished and his/her pony is back in line, with stewards on hand to assist.</p><p>“We want to offer a level playing field, so one animal isn’t disturbed by the crowd before its performance is completed,” said Mrs Whiteman.</p><p>Only the top four competitors in the nightly premier championships — from lead-rein to cob classes — will be judged this way.</p><p>Davina said: “Preparing a pony for an evening performance is not the same as taking it to a local show. It’s up to the competitors to decide whether they’re suitable.”</p><p>Pony producer and judge Julia Ryde-Rogers described an incident during last year’s evening performance when a pony panicked during the applause and bolted from the ring, causing its rider to fall.</p><p>“I think this could lead to trouble — it’s going to encourage people to make as much noise as possible,” she said.</p><p>“It’s not just the clapping, but the cheering and whooping. I can see there are good intentions behind it, but whether it’s going to work OK, I don’t know. It’s sad people will do anything to sabotage a show.”</p><p>However, producer Allister Hood, who has ponies entered in the championships, said: “If the pony’s got that far, every judging final has a round of applause, so they should all be good animals in the line-up. If the animal’s going to be upset it wouldn’t be entered.</p><p>“I don’t think we can judge it until it’s happened.”</p>

                                <p>A new style of judging will raise showing to a new level, says Ponies UK P(UK). Davina Whiteman, Chairman of P(UK) demonstrated the new format when judging the performance sections of the HOYS Qualifiers for Show Ponies & Show Hunter Ponies at the P(UK) South Show. She lined up the competitors in order of merit and at the conclusion of each individual show, she announced the mark over the public address system, and gave a short appraisal.</p><p>“Judging is a subjective thing – it is very individual and the new style gives the ringside the opportunity to see a judge’s priorities.”</p><p>According to Whiteman the amended format, which will be in place at the P(UK) Summer Championships, encourages better riding; “Those at the top of the line have to ride for their lives in order to hold their places.”</p><p>Carol Gilbert-Scott, who trains home-produced horses and their riders, believes the new style is an “excellent idea”. “It gives competitors at the end of the line-up a chance to get out and do their show immediately and applies pressure to those further up the order,” she explains. But Gilbert-Scott is sure that some judges will be opposed to the idea, “They won’t like it because now they have to know what they’re looking for.”</p><p>Whiteman agrees, “It puts an extra pressure on the judge to think very seriously about what they are doing.”</p><p>But the new system is designed to improve the standard of showmanship and provide competitors with a good grounding for other equestrian disciplines. “It is the result of a review we have been doing over the last three years,” Whiteman explained, “The previous mark system was not achieving the results we’d hoped for and new competitors were confused.”</p><p>“The whole idea of showing is to teach children to be all round competitors – the new system is better for ponies and better for children and more fun for the public to watch,” Gilbert-Scott affirmed.</p><div ><table><tbody><tr><td  ><a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//redirect" title="Horse & Hound subscriptions" data-original-url="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/redirect/?link=201704&code=endlink"><br/><font size="2"><strong>SUBSCRIBE TO HORSE & HOUND AND SAVE</strong></font><font size="2">Enjoy all the latest equestrian news and competition reports delivered straight to your door every week.</font><font size="2">To subscribe for just £1.43 a copy </font></a><font size="2"><a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//redirect" title="Horse & Hound Equestrian News" data-original-url="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/redirect/?link=201704&code=endlink">click here >></a></font></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.

                                <p>Avril Blundell and Dallas Gazumpa carried off two major titles at Unex Towerlands in Essex on their seasonal debut. Having their first outing since HOYS, they opened their account with a win and the subsequent riding horse championship.</p><p>The outstanding 10-year-old son of Dallas then impressed John and Sue Rawding to take the winter amateur tricolour, and returned as fresh as a daisy to earn Avril her first overall supreme under John Rawding.</p><p>“He’s a lovely, lovely horse. One of the best in the country, who showed great presence, even after three days’ work,” said John.</p><p>“He was bored in the field, so we brought him in a month ago, and he really rose to the occasion,” said Avril. “I wouldn’t swap him for anything in the world. I wish we could clone him.”</p><p>Lucy Stennett earned the reserve supreme with her open coloured champion, Pussy Galore. Produced by Katie Jerram, the seven-year-old tobiano also collected her Royal International ticket here.</p><p>Georgia Harvey was called forward as second reserve with Rillaton Trade Fair. Having benefited from a recent clinic with Justine Armstrong-Small, Georgia, nine, clinched the Timberwolf Championship on the opening evening.</p><p>According to Georgia’s mother, Judy, the five-year-old son of Basford Court Jester carries Georgia about bareback, in just a headcollar, at home.</p><p>“He’s so laid back, we let them have lots of gallops — but with the tack on,” added Judy.</p><ul><li>Read H&H’s full report from the Ponies (UK) Winter Championships in today’s issue (13 April, ’06)</li></ul>

                                <p>The brave decision to relocate the 2005 Summer Championships was the most discussed subject at the Ponies Association (UK) AGM, held at Stilton.</p><p>Taking what has been described as the “equestrian holiday of the year” to the Newark and Notts Showground proved an unqualified success in August. A plea for more stewards for 2006 to help the overloaded team of volunteers has already gone out.</p><p>A daily flow of almost 500 cars and 200 horseboxes put a huge strain on marshals, and the hidden cost of parking, plus the board’s decision to reduce entry fees for the championships, were the main contributing factors to an overall reduction in income.</p><p>Treasurer Jane Scriven reported that expenditure, despite all the challenges of moving the championships, was held tightly in check for the year ending September 2005, and funds remain solid to take the association forward without impacting on quality or standards.</p><p>In addition to the new summer venue, the Winter Championships are relocating to Unex Towerlands (31 March-2 April). P(UK) hopes the two new locations will offer opportunities for growth.</p><p>The linking of training to accreditation and star status remains an exciting challenge that it is in its third year. Continuing to drive forward the initiatives were Lady Caroline Tyrell (training), Francis Sheffield (elite riders), Chris McGrann (elite trainers) and Steve Woods, who is establishing the Brown working hunter arena at Newark as a serious championship ring.</p><p>Regular meetings with other breed societies have resulted in compatibility of all rules, and a programme to benefit reciprocal championship qualifiers will be robustly debated for the future.</p><p>The ever-increasing cost of road travel for judges and stewards was another topic, and one suggestion was that cheap flights were an option for the society, which could use a courtesy coach to collect passengers from local airports.</p><p>However, the association is to slim down events and classes that are not cost-effective. Working hunters are most affected, but, in an effort to meet the threat of losing classes altogether, a newcomers’ Zenith series has been introduced — one ring, one judge and one fence height will allow all competitors to gain experience.</p><p>Officials still concerned about overweight animals were encouraged that, after a four-year promotion drive, many P(UK) judges were marking such exhibits down.</p><p>Read the full report in Horse & Hound (22 December, ’05)</p><div ><table><tbody><tr><td  ><br/><a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//redirect" data-original-url="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/redirect/?link=201705&code=endlink"><br/><font size="2"><b>SUBSCRIBE TO HORSE & HOUND AND SAVE</b></font><font size="2">Enjoy all the latest equestrian news and competition reports delivered straight to your door every week.</font><font size="2">To subscribe for just £1.43 a copy </font></a><font size="2"><a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//redirect" data-original-url="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/redirect/?link=201705&code=endlink">click here >></a></font></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.

                                <p>Tuffy Stockley and Chiddock Over The Limit crowned their Ponies (UK) Championships by taking the winter champion of champions and supreme of show titles at The College EC, Keysoe.</p><p>Over a hectic three days, they also collected three wins in the Mirage show hunter pony, potential dressage and part-bred Arab classes, and an additional two championships before their final exit down the centre line.</p><p>“He’s a very correct hunter pony, the sort I used to look for when I was showing. If he were 16.3hh, he’d just do me,” enthused supreme Judge Vin Toulson.</p><p>“He’s such a star. He’s had a week in the field after winning last week, and he’s come out again and done the business. He’s living up to all expectations,” said Tuffy’s mother, Jo.</p><p>Reserve supreme was Emma Walker, riding Sharon Curtis’s intermediate show hunter type champion Rufforth Rowena, a 10-year-old chestnut mare by Roberto Skovgaaro.</p><p>It was “high fives” all round for Joshua Atkinson, who celebrated his ninth birthday by taking the overall Lee Smith championship, riding the palomino M&M lead-rein pony Dryfe Spring Daffodil.</p><p>Vin Toulson had a strong final line-up from which to choose. “The standard was very high, and the ponies were outstanding, but this little pony had manners to burn,” he concluded.</p><p>One pony not needing his lucky horseshoes was Sannan Valley Imitation, who clinched the confined novice champion of champions for Sam Roberts with a brilliant gallop.</p><p>Although the eye-catching grey section B — a 2004 Welsh national performance winner — thrives on hacking, hunting and affiliated show jumping, the six-year-old has never been shod.</p><p>“Our blacksmith says he has perfect feet,” explained Sam. “Imitation is the most outstanding character and ride. He lives for anything to do with jumping.”</p><p>Read the full report from the Ponies (UK) Winter Championships in today’s issue of Horse & Hound (28 April, ’05)</p><div ><table><tbody><tr><td  ><table width="462"><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#FFFFFF"><b><a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//redirect" data-original-url="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/redirect/?link=45985&code=CNEWS"><br/></a></b></font><a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//redirect" data-original-url="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/redirect/?link=45985&code=CNEWS"><font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#FFFFFF">Get up to <font color="#FEFF75">19</font> issues <font color="#FEFF75">FREE</font><br/>UK’s No1 weekly for Horses for Sale<br/>Latest results and reports<br/>TO SUBSCRIBE </font></a><font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#FFFFFF"><a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//redirect" data-original-url="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/redirect/?link=45985&code=CNEWS"><font color="#FEFF75">CLICK HERE</font></a></font></td><td valign="top" width="100"><a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//redirect" data-original-url="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/redirect/?link=45985&code=CNEWS"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td  ><center></center></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.

She is an experienced journalist and editor, as well as being a passionate amateur rider and dedicated horse owner. She joined the Horse &amp; Hound editorial team for the website’s launch in October 2000. Having worked her way up from sub-editor to site editor, under Carol’s guidance and expertise the website has grown into an extensive resource for equestrian information of all kinds, which is frequently top of google searches for key equestrian topics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carol is responsible for all of H&amp;H’s digital content, including social media and e-newsletters, as well as overseeing the news desk for both print and online. She has her finger on the pulse of the latest equestrian news and opinions via social media. Her most recent projects include researching and writing content for the H&amp;H veterinary library, and supporting the introduction of Horse &amp; Hound’s website subscription model.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carol has reported from numerous Badmintons and Burghleys, as well as the likes of Olympia and HOYS, most commonly as part of the &lt;em&gt;H&amp;H Live&lt;/em&gt; service, as well as running that service during numerous championships, including the London Olympic Games.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not born into an equestrian family, Carol learnt to ride at her local riding school from the age of eight, and had a number of ponies on loan during her teenage years, while she was a member of the Flamstead branch of the Pony Club.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carol has since owned a handful of her own horses, the first of which was gifted to her, and has enjoyed starting and schooling many others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She currently owns a 16.2hh Irish sport horse, who she backed as a rising four-year-old. Plans for him to follow his predecessor, a 16hh retrained Flat racehorse, into the world of grassroots eventing were derailed by a number of health issues. After undergoing extensive rehab, he has been retired from ridden work and is living his best life in a small herd of other retired horses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carol’s is currently sharing a 16.1hh grey warmblood mare, who particularly enjoys hacking and jumping.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Ponies UK is introducing a new training scheme designed to recognise the skills of show riders. In the long term, the society hopes the initiative will establish a group of elite competitors, who have the necessary knowledge to become P(UK) trainers and judges.</p><p>Training days will be held around the country to help P(UK) members improve their horsemanship skills, with achievements acknowledged through a series of skill attainment levels. The most talented riders at each training day will be selected to compete in the Shires Equestrian / Ponies (UK) Showman’s Challenge at the Summer Championships.</p><p>The scheme is believed to be the first formal training scheme available to showing riders, and training bursaries worth £250, courtesy of Shires Equestrian, will be awarded to the showing (ridden flat) and working hunter (ridden flat and jumping) Showman’s Challenge supreme winners.</p><p>In a statement the society said: “[Dressage, show jumping and eventing] have training schemes in place to foster and acknowledge talent and training achievements. Until now, the skill of the show rider has not been acknowledged and no formal training schemes to improve the skill levels of the individual has been in place.”</p><p>The training days will include both mounted and unmounted instruction to encourage show riders to progress through a sequence of skill levels to achieve the highest levels of horsemanship. The highest levels of the scheme — bronze, silver and gold — will only be awarded to individuals who are capable of preparing riders, horses and ponies for the show ring.</p><p>Riders taking part in the scheme will be split into two specialities: <b>showing</b> for those wishing to ride only of the flat and <b>working hunter</b> for riders who wish to compete on the flat and over fences. The skill attainment levels will work in parallel across both options.</p><p>Five training days have been confirmed, although further days may be organised subject to interest. They will take place on:</p><ul><li>30 April at Moores Farm, Corse Lawn, Gloucestershire</li><li>14 May at Drumacre Stud, Longton, Lancashire</li><li>22 May at Faraway RC, Aberdeen</li><li>26 May at Sissons Farm EC, Peakirk, Peterborough</li><li>3 June at Newton Hall EC, Swilland, Ipswich</li></ul><p>Riders who are invited to take part in the Shires Equestrian / P(UK) Showman Final will parade during the evening gala performance at the Summer Championships on Saturday 20 August, during which the bursary winners and the 2005 Shires Equestrian / P(UK) Showman of the Year will be announced.</p><p>For more details about the scheme visit: www.poniesuk.org</p><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.

                                <p>The Ponies Association (UK) Summer Championships will move from its traditional home in Peterborough to the Newark & Notts showground, P(UK) Chairman Davina Whiteman announced earlier this the week.</p><p>The Equestrian Holiday, as the show is also known, has taken place at the East of England Showground in Peterborough since Glenda Spooner launched it in 1960, when P(UK) was still Ponies of Britain.</p><p>“The Equestrian Holiday is beginning to develop a soul and we need to build on that,” says Whiteman. “In recent years, we have noticed that friends could not always park together [at the Peterborough venue] and that our members were often stretched through ring, stable and parking locations. The ground conditions and stabling on soft wet ground was also proving to be detrimental to both the competition and the ponies.”</p><p>Financial considerations also played a part in the decision to move, due to rising costs levied by the East of England Agricultural Society.</p><p>“Davina said at the AGM back in 2002 that we couldn’t continue facing the escalating costs at East of England,” says P(UK) spokeswoman Betsy Branyan. “Financially we can’t afford it and put on the same show that our members expect.”</p><p>Moving to Newark will allow P(UK) to “re-invent the spirit” of the show and take it forward. The association is looking at innovative ways to display animals and products in the showground.</p><p>“I can’t say it’s confirmed but we are looking at ways of putting technology in, such as video screens,” explains Branyan. “Hopefully, we are going to open it up to trade stands too, so they can use technology to display larger items which they don’t want to bring to the show.”</p><p>Plans to launch a radio station on site are also afoot to help competitors access the latest details on the judging process in each ring. “It will be limited to the showground area, but anyone can tune in and find out what’s happening in a ring without having to go there and [without] the PA system going on all the time,” says Branyan. “It will help reduce noise.”</p><p>The fundamental principles of the show, however, will remain the same. “The Association’s mission to promote the management, welfare, selective breeding, care and training of horses and ponies will continue to be a priority,” according to P(UK), which promised that the Equestrian Holiday will continue to have a large range of different competitions and will retain its popular free entry classes.</p><p>“The new venue at Newark will provide hard standing for the stables and the majority of parking and our showground layout will certainly create a real heart to the show,” says Whiteman.</p><p>Whiteman, however, recognises that “the East of England Showground proved to be an invaluable stepping stone towards our goal of creating the perfect show,” and reveals she had some regret at ending the P(UK) association with the Peterborough venue, because the move will be blow to the local economy. But, she says, “our members and their ponies are always at the forefront of our considerations”.</p><p>“Obviously we have some regret at moving away, but times move on,” explains Branyan. “We are just trying to put the heart back into the show. We are excited about it. We are doing this as a positive move.”</p><p>The P(UK) Summer Championship Show will take place from 16 to 20 August at Newark and Notts Showground.</p><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.

                                <p>Lady Caroline Tyrell will be the new President of Ponies (UK) for next year’s season.</p><p>In her new role, Lady Tyrell will support P(UK)’s campaign to promote the integrity of judges and will help develop a P(UK) Horse/Pony Judge’s Panel for 2006, which should help remove the confusion on competition criteria that is plaguing the shows.</p><p>Lady Tyrrell will bring a vast experience of many equestrian disciplines to the post, as she has successfully competed in point-to-point, showjumping, dressage, driving and, more recently, showing.</p><p>“She comes from cross-training, which we endorse. That cross training experience and her experience in the dressage world will be nothing but beneficial in setting up the Judge’s Panel,” says P(UK) Chairman Davina Whiteman, who sees Lady Tyrell spearheading the society’s campaign on the integrity of judges. “We see her as the leader of it, again because of her experience in the dressage world.”</p><p>A long-standing member of the Dressage Committee, Lady Tyrrell has been the Chairman of Jury Appeals for many years. She has been judging since she was twenty and now sits on a number of panels, including SHB(GB), BSHC & RH, Dressage and the BSPA.</p><p>But her judging duties haven’t quenched her thirst for competing and Lady Tyrrell still takes part in many shows. She considers winning Best Trained Horse Class at the British Hack & Cob Championships this year one of her greatest achievements. “Horses are an addiction – which may be better for your health than smoking and certainly more fun,” she says.</p><p>Meanwhile, Whiteman and the P(UK) Executive Board have announced at the company’s AGM last week that ground reparation works following the wet summer championships and a new computer system made a massive inroad in the P(UK) budget, affecting the margins for the year and raising financial challenges which will be addressed in 2005.</p><p>Despite this, P(UK) have “a positive vision for the future.” Educating judges, trainers and competitors on what makes good competition horses and ponies is central to their plans for next year, and a series of conferences and seminars will be held throughout 2005 to help address the issue of judging skills. Whiteman also confirmed that membership of P(UK) now includes Public Liability insurance while taking part in any P(UK) affiliated event.</p><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.

These include the British Horse Society, which awarded her its medal of honour, and the Association of British Riding Schools, which made her its first fellow for her work pioneering its inspection and training programme while being its national chairman. The Women’s Institute also owes her a huge debt of gratitude for her work as county chairman.</p><p>Responding to a flood of tributes, Mrs Lee Smith said: “I am confident in the knowledge that I’m leaving the association in the safe hands of another Lee Smith woman who has all the characteristics that have fired me over the years: determination, a strong will, aggression and a reputation for never agreeing.”</p><p>For more information on Ponies (UK) visit: <a href="http://www.poniesuk.org">www.poniesuk.org</a></p><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.
