Page 2
We were particularly interested in the Cobs and all the classes for section D were videod. However, some section A champions are also recorded. The full results of the prize winners , however, are reflected in the new website of the RWAS at http://www.rwas.co.uk/award24frame.htm and the Welsh Pony and Cob in-hand results are classes 1 to 119 followed by the ridden classes. Once again Gail and Arthur Thomson of the USA have kindly agreed to let us use their photographs of the prize winners. Some of these are shown below but you are encouraged to view many more winners under their excellent website http://www.gayfieldswelshponies.com/news/royalwelsh2004.html

Champion Sire It was interesting to note that the Champion Sire of the show was Trevallion Harry (sire of Danaway The Sting) with the reserve being Danaway Tango both owned by the Attrell family of the Danaway Stud.
Young Handler
No competition for in-hand can be complete without recognising the handlers, especially the young handlers. The award this year went to David Bethell who showed Polaris Elmar (Polaris Fagan x Polaris Elsie) who was the Welsh Pony male champion. Here David is being congratulated by Judge Dewi Evans.
This show was of particular interest to us in that our President Sue Cook had the honour of being invited to judge the Leading Rein and First Ridden classes on the Wednesday afternoon. Also attending the show from South Africa were Digby and Lindi Donaldson and Jack Gilfillan.
One of the benefits of such a show is to renew international acquaintances and to learn about what is happening in the societies and the ponies around the world.
