3 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. A lot of preparation has taken place to get the show off the ground. The committee would like to thank all of our generous sponsors and those who have supported us. Without them this show would not have been possible. We look forward to welcoming our exhibitors to Crescent Farm at the end of June, for what we hope will be one of the best shows in the calendar.
