Sandringham Supreme Champion was Sarah Prior’s Sunnybrowe Jack<br />

A festive air prevailed over Sandringham as the Midlands East Support Group<br />

celebrated the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the 90 th anniversary of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Fell</strong> <strong>Pony</strong><br />

<strong>Society</strong> with a bumper entry at their show on 19 th May <strong>2012</strong>. <strong>The</strong> show is held on<br />

the beautiful Sandringham Estate by kind permission of HM <strong>The</strong> Queen. To<br />

acknowledge Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee we had a picture display<br />

representing her interest in our native breeds.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Fell</strong>s were joined this year by the Dales <strong>Pony</strong> <strong>Society</strong> and the Highland <strong>Pony</strong><br />

Enthusiasts Club, along with friends of all breeds. <strong>The</strong>re was a large entry of<br />

registered <strong>Fell</strong> youngstock with at least two colts entering their first show.<br />

In the lunch break Mr Marcus O’Lone, the Queen’s agent at Sandringham, made<br />

a speech on behalf of HRH <strong>The</strong> Duke of Edinburgh—the <strong>Society</strong>’s President—and<br />

cut a cake to celebrate the <strong>Society</strong>’s 90 th anniversary. Mrs O’Lone was presented<br />

with a bouquet of flowers. Mr O’Lone has supported our show on the Queen’s<br />

behalf and supplied us with a wonderful venue and facilities over the last 10<br />

years, for which we are very grateful.<br />
