THE 48th annual Lampeter Spring Horse and Pony Show, exclusively for Welsh breeds of stallions and youngstock, attracted almost 800 superb entries from many of the best breeders across England and Wales.

Such is the acclaim of this event that it is now recognised as the hallmark of the Welsh breeds and never fails to draw in a host of visitors, many from the near continent, Scandinavia and the United States..

This year's spectacular event was held under the presidency of W Geraint Jones, whose family founded the internationally acclaimed Nebo Welsh pony and cob stud, registering their prefix as long ago as 1918.

Mr Jones was described by committee chairman Daniel Morgan as a true stalwart of the organising committee, who had attended every show to date and was even a participant in the years before the event became officially recognised by the Welsh Pony and Cob Society.

This year's Supreme Champion was the 11-year-old Cob type stallion Tremymor Sportsman, bred by Dewi Jones of Bethania, Aberystwyth. Got by Nebo Bouncer out of Tremymor Lucky Charm, he was Section C champion at the Royal Welsh in 2004.
