Dressage Championships for 2018/19.


Founder, Fiona Cork said: “We have just launched a new Native Pony Dressage Saddle. This has built on our outstanding success with helping the native community, where we are delighted to be represented by so many ponies already out competing in the dressage arena. Having been asked on so many occasions to design a dressage saddle suitable for natives, we have spent a considerable amount of time developing


native ponies, no charge for judges and potential judges, a charge of £5 for all other attendees. Refreshments available. For further details contact:


something we feel puts you in harmony with your pony.


“As a professional rider of native ponies myself for many years, having been an NPS member for longer than I’d like to admit to, it’s exciting to be involved with these championships.”
