A high speed dash, a blur of coloured silks, flying manes and tails and the roar of the crowd – all the excitement of a day at the races condensed down to little Shetland pony size.
Catch all the action from the Shetland Pony Grand National at Equifest during the Saturday evening performance.
Held at East of England Showground, Peterborough, August 17 to 21 the event is one of the largest shows in the equestrian calendar and also a hugely enjoyable occasion for all the family.
The Shetland Pony Grand National is an exciting and fun display of pony racing which takes place around a course with miniature steeplechase fences. The ponies travel the length and breadth of the country during the season and are ridden by 9 to 13-year-old jockeys.
Said Betsy Branyan of Equifest: “The Shetland Pony Grand National is always great fun and really adds to the occasion.”
With so much going on from a wide range of showing classes, fun fancy dress competitions, unaffiliated show jumping, to brilliant demonstrations and master classes, be part of the fantastic atmosphere that Equifest is well known for.
Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to compete at the biggest showing festival in the country. Create wonderful memories and make dreams come true at Equifest!
