This years Mountain and Moorland Charity Show was held on Easter Sunday at Coombe Park Stables, Camarthen with the aim of raising money for four very worthy charities - Lluest, NSPCC, Cancer Research and Many Tears Rescue.

Despite heavy winter showers competitors turned out in droves and everyone was certainly into the spirit of the event as there was hardly a moan from those who were forced to queue to find parking spaces inside.

While mainly supported by the Welsh ponies the organisers were also delighted to see Miniature Shetlands, Connemara and a Exmoor Pony also taking part.

In all 14 classes were organised with the competitors all hoping to win either a cup or a bespoke rosettes. These classes led on to the Championships and Supreme Championship all sponsored by Studs and Businesses.

The stewards did an outstanding job in difficult circumstances and the organisers cannot be thank them enough for their sterling work.

The shows main objectives were to have a fun day, raise as much as possible for the charities and try to reward as many rosettes and trophies as possible. Thanks to major sponsorship there was hardly a head without a Blue Chip cap or a competitor without a Robinson prize.
