Show Season Recap
2024
Looking back on our first full show season!
2024 marked the first full show season for the stud after a couple of introductory shows in 2023.
What a year it has been with 14 shows and 43 classes, competing throughout England and Scotland. Winning championships, trophies and the converted NPS Silver Medal rosette. It has been an honour to compete within the Highland classes at three of the largest shows in Scotland, including the last ever Blair International Horse Trials.
Perburn Eider Embrace has done us proud, winning the majority of his classes and excelling in the Home Produced classes. He has really come into his own in his final year competing within the young stock classes. Next year he'll be competing in the adult stallion classes.
The culmination of his showing achievements resulted in being awarded the HPS Bronze medal and overall In-Hand Champion at the HPS Performance Awards.
