Another successful event for the club was held at Devon EC on 2nd November.  Talks about various aspects of the Exmoor pony were accompanied by live Exmoor pony demos and taster sessions on board as well as an Equissage demonstration. Comments from the day include:-

"Was a great day, great talks and the ponies giving pony rides made me wish I'd brought my hat! Thanks to all involved in the organisation"

"Had a really good time today, It was great to meet so many other Exmoor people!"

Thanks to our sponsor Tugs-Transport for getting one of the demo ponies there at much discounted rate!!!

SEPRC Babies fly the Exmoor flag at the NPS Youngstock show.

Annasach Bugatti, Lilliesleaf, Freia and Heathpool Zeno were all completely un-phased by their trip to SNEC for the NPS (Scotland) Yougstock show.  Each one behaved impeccably, and whilst trotting was not popular amongst our babes, their crowd of fans were very proud!

Well done Class 1!!!

EPS given the go-ahead to brand ponies in Scotland

The Exmoor Pony Society have been given permission by the Scottish Executive to allow authorised individuals to brand foals at inspection.   It is up to owners to decide if they want their folas to be branded and/ or microchipped.  SEPRC recommends that those who are affectedby this new legislation contact the EPS for more details.

Club Merchandise now available for the Ponies!

Saddle cloths, rugs, even jods can now be embroidered for you with the SEPRC logo, and whatever personalisation you require.

Some human clothing is also available.

Mentoring Scheme

The Club offers a Mentoring Scheme, giving those who are new to owning a young pony the opportunity to be paired with someone with more experience for general advice, practical and moral support. We are looking for volunteer mentors across Scotland, and would also like to hear from people who feel they would benefit from a chat with someone who has ‘been there.’

If you are interested in having or being a mentor, please email SEPRC@scottishexmoors.co.uk
