The Committee of the Native Pony Festival was formed in February 2014, after a gap in the calendar was
realised for an all Native Pony Show. The committee would like to thank all of our generous sponsors

forward to welcoming our exhibitors to Crescent Farm at the end of June, for the second Native Pony
