A record number of competitors and hundreds of ponies gathered in West Lothian at the weekend for one of Scotland鈥檚 largest equestrian events.
The Harbro Scottish Home Pony, which includes opportunities for show jumpers from across the British Isles to qualify for the prestigious Horse of the Year Show and Olympia, the London International Horse Show, saw 490 ponies and 290 under-16 riders attending.
Around 325 ponies were stabled onsite at the Oatridge campus of Scotland鈥檚 Rural College (伊人直播), which is home to the state-of-the-art Scottish National Equestrian Centre.
The four-day event culminated in the Scottish Home Pony Grand Prix, with team medals fought out between Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales.
Scotland achieved silver in the Scottish Home Pony 128cm Team Competition, while the Grand Prix was won by England鈥檚 Claudia Harding and Where鈥檚 My Colour.
England鈥檚 Tabitha Kyle won the Scottish Home Pony Leading Athlete Award, presented by the Sign Co.
David Hopkins, Dean of 伊人直播鈥檚 Central Faculty, said: 鈥淥nce again, the Harbro Scottish Home Pony was a terrific success, showcasing some of the finest talent the UK and Ireland has to offer. We were delighted to host this prestigious event at the Scottish National Equestrian Centre, which also serves as a wonderful asset for our students.
鈥淪cotland鈥檚 Rural College offers a wide range of Equine, Veterinary Nursing and Animal Management courses and I would encourage anyone interested in finding out more to visit .鈥�
