NATIONAL PONY SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL STALLION ASSESSMENT
Following from a successful pilot in 2021 the NPS has teamed up with Trakehners UK to offer an International Assessment for our Stallions and Mares. This is an opportunity for owners who are looking to develop a broader market for their stock and gain valuable feedback. NPS British Riding Pony owners are invited to bring their stallions forward for assessment by a specialist international sport horse judge from the Trakehner Verband.
The assessment will appraise each pony’s conformation and paces in hand and loose. Marks and feedback will be provided on their suitability to breed competition ponies. Stallions and mares that pass will be awarded an NPS Sport Accreditation, in addition to receiving valuable feedback to help guide your breeding programme.
The assessment is being held on Tuesday 30th August at Solihull RC. The fee is £80.
*Update from the Assessment Day 2021*
NATIONAL PONY SOCIETY STALLION PREMIUM SCHEME – NEW FOR 2021
The Premium Scheme will recognise NPS licensed stallions whose progeny have been successful in competition in breeding classes at designated British Riding Pony (BRP) Premium Shows. There is no fee to be paid and all stallions that are registered or overstamped with the NPS and hold a valid NPS licence are eligible for the scheme.
Premiums are awarded annually. A stallion that has been awarded three annual Premiums (not necessarily concurrently) will be designated a lifetime Super Premium stallion. There will be slightly different criteria for stallions 8 years old and under who may be awarded a Young Stallion Premium.
Stallion owners will be able to use the Premium status of their stallions in any marketing material. All Premium and Super Premium stallions will be listed in the NPS Annual Review and on the NPS website.
BRP Premium Shows will include, but not be limited to:
NPS Area Shows holding BRP breeding classes;
NPS Spring Festival, Summer Championship and Great British In Hand Show;
Key County and Agricultural shows which offer NPS Silver medals in BRP breeding sections.
A list of BRP Premium Shows will be posted on the NPS website.
