Hi all
hope you are all well and keeping warm with this sudden burst of winter and hope you have all had some decent rains to fill your tanks and nourish your garden and paddocks.
As you would all be aware our Show Season has already started with our High Point Classes last week at Gawler Agricultural Show.
Showing numbers were disappointing and the lowest that we have had at Gawler Show for many many years; however, the Members who competed should be very proud of themselves and their Ponies. Our Judge commented many times about the quality of the Ponies competing and how high she thought the standard was. She also made several comments about the presentation of the Ponies and the Handlers and also the overall showing manners of the competitors and was very impressed with the friendliness of the competitors to each other and also commented how nice it was to hear them congratulate each other. So, congratulations to everyone who competed as you did yourselves, your Ponies and AMPS® proud!
I will email Gawler Show results via separate email.
I have attached the 2025 / 2026 Show Season Calendar to this email so that Members can check out the Show dates and promotional events for the season. If you have any queries about the Shows or Promotional Events, please do not hesitate to contact me.
As you will see on the Show Calendar, our next High Point Classes will be at Balaklava Agricultural Show on Saturday 27 September 2025. The Show Programme is being finalized and once this is ready, they are going to email me a copy to send out to Members, so as soon as I receive it, I will forward to Members.
The Programme will also be on Show day On Line, however the Show Committee advise that they are happy to accept mailed or emailed entries, which I know some Members will be happy about.
High Point Results have been finalized, and I am in the process of advising Members of their results and as soon as this has been done, I will email the complete list of results out.
As soon as a date has been finalized for the High Point Presentation, Members will be advised.
I am in the process of confirming Membership Renewals and Membership Cards will be circulated when they have been prepared. In the meantime, if anyone wants to confirm that their Membership has been received, don’t hesitate to contact me. Likewise, if anyone has not done their Membership Renewal and submitted Pony Returns, these need to be done asap and Members are reminded that until they have Renewed their Membership they are unable to Show. Members can email their Membership Renewals and Pony Returns to me, or if you have mislaid yours, let me know and I can get a replacement one for you. Several Members, including myself, did not receive their Membership Renewal and so if you did not receive yours, let me know asap and I can assist you.
If anyone has any queries in this regard, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Members are also reminded to check if their Ponies need measuring for their 2, 4 or 6 year height measurements and / or if they need to be upgraded at 2 years old to enable them to Show. If anyone has any queries, or wants to check if their Ponies are due for upgrade and / or measuring, please do not hesitate to contact me. Members are reminded that Ponies will be measured at their first Show of the Season.
I look forward to seeing Members at Shows; however in the meantime if you have any queries about anything, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Take care … be kind … stay safe …
Regards Barb,
