We are delighted and thrilled to confirm and bring you the news that HOYS will be hosting our NPS/Baileys Horse Feeds Supreme Ridden Mountain & Moorland Pony of the Year Championship in 2011
Grandstand Media Ltd announced today it will be hosting The NPS/Baileys Horse Feeds Supreme Ridden Mountain & Moorland (M&M) Pony of the Year Championship and classes which will be added to the 2011 Horse of the Year Show timetable. The Champion will then go forward to join the M&M WHP of the Year and the Mini M&M Pony of the Year for a Mountain & Moorland Supreme.
Further to the negotiations with the NPS an additional change to the Ridden M&M class will also be implemented for the 2011 season. This will see two breed qualifiers taking place at the various Breed Shows throughout the qualifying season. This will ensure at least two of each M&M breed is represented at Horse of the Year Show.
Grandstand Media Ltd has also made one further change to a section of the Ridden M&M class. At the 2011 show the Highland Pony will have its own section in the Ridden M&M classes and will no longer be combined with the Fell and Dales Ponies with whom it currently competes against in the qualifying rounds and the Ridden M&M final at HOYS. This change has resulted from research into entries for the ridden M&M qualifiers which show the number of Highland Ponies that compete in the qualifiers against the number of Highland Ponies who actually make it through to the finals at HOYS. This has not previously been a true representation of the popularity of the breed. As a trial for the 2011 season, 10 qualifiers will take place for the Highland Pony (details of the 2011 HOYS qualifiers will be announced soon).

This is a wonderful opportunity for all NPS members and will be the highlight of some further exciting developments and benefits to be announced shortly. The NPS would like to thank Grandstand Media Ltd and the HOYS team for their very considerable help and assistance and for their forward thinking in further enhancing and encouraging the pony world.
