The 15th annual Scottish Academy Pony & Horse Camp is over for another year and what an incredible bunch of riders we had.

Thank you to all the attendees, ponies, horses and parents for attending this week.  Lots of fun and hard work.

Thank you to all the coaches, Kelly Connor, Andrew Hamilton and Andrew Wilson, everyone was absolutely thrilled with their lessons and learnt a lot.

Thank you to the Officials on the show day, Course Designer Andrew Wilson and Judge Jane Barr & Assistant Gillian Beattie, Tam Rennie Practice Arena Steward, David Hart Event Medic, and Jamie Agnew Photography for the amazing photos.

The brilliant training session presenters, Hollie Leggate Fitness, Personal Trainer Kerri Brown, Topspec, Fiona from Police Scotland, Vet Chris Calder, Level 3 Judge Jane Barr, Quiz and NAF by Marjory McNaughton, the infamous rosette making and plaque crafting by Gillian McFadyen with help and thanks to Lianne Sutherland, thank you all.

The fabulous evening activities including a Kelly Connor Demo and the Scottish Racing Academy session. Really informative and fun.

A massive thank you to all the staff at Morris EC, for making sure we had an amazing camp.

Finally, as always, a huge thank you to Marjory McNaughton and Gillian McFadyen who help organise and run the camps each year and for your continuous support and help, you know I couldn’t do it without you both and thank you to Claire Leitch for doing the start lists for the show.

The qualified Scottish Teams for the National Academy Final in August will be advertised soon.
