Strathallan Castle, Auchterarder, was the venue for the annual Scottish Shows of the NPS & BSPS at the weekend. Caithness riders Jillian Gunn, James Munro, Nicola Kemp & Joanna Hunter made the long journey. The best riders and breeders from Scotland and the North of England were competing and many used the event as a practice for the Royal Highland Show in two weeks time. There were dozens of qualification tickets up for grabs, including for HOYS and Blair Castle International Horse Trials.
James was the most successful by picking up hunter reserve champion (on O'Brogain owned by George Harper) and qualification for the Horse of the Year Show (HOYS).
My daughter Jillian, on Willoway Chatterbox, cleared all the (big) working hunter jumps, but just missed out on a prize. However, she won rosettes in three ridden classes and a qualification for Blair.
We left early, so I don't know what other prizes were won by the Caithness contingent.
