  • Highland Pony News Omnibus

    11/03/2021 /

    Exciting time ahead! Since publishing the Highland Pony 2020 Project in July last year we, at the Highland Pony Society, have been working hard on our latest book, the ‘Highland Pony News Omnibus’. It has now gone to print and will be available in the HPS shop later this month. The original Highland Pony News magazines which ran from 1969 to 1975 have been digitally re-edited to form one historic book. At between 52 and 44 years interval since the magazines were originally published, these reproduced publications to form a single ‘Ominbus’ book dedicated to our breed. This hard back book of 324 pages is packed full of black and…

  • Use of Kinship Analysis when Considering Breeding

    23/02/2021 /

    Breeders use lots of tools to decide which stallion to choose for their mare, particularly 'stocksmanship' which combines the art of putting together bloodlines using experience and science to maximise the possibility of producing quality progeny which follow the breed standard. As has been recorded in a previous member’s newsletter, a complementary tool to stocksmanship is kinship analysis where a value can be put on the relationship between mares and selected stallions. The mean kinship of the Highland pony breed is 0.0403 (4%) and it would not be advisable to select a match where the kinship was higher than this. If you would like a full kinship analysis on your…

    In a break with the usual tradition of lunch, home baking and craic, the Performance Awards Presentations took place 'virtually' for the first time ever! We were delighted that, from 37 different firesides including the United States and Germany, Willie Ralston, the Society's Presidnet, welcomed around 45 people! Gillian McMurray gave a most interesting illustrated talk on the history of Highland ponies from their working days on farms and crofts to the ponies we enjoy today in performance in so many different disciplines. Christopher Grant who runs the scheme for England & Wales masterminded the presentations, warming us up with a lovely compilation of photographs featuring the ponies who had…

    Megan Hunter, a final year Equine Management degree student, is undertaking a dissertation in which she asks the opinions of equine rare breed breeders on the use of assisted reproductive technology. It would be much appreciated if you would like to participate in her survey which is directed specifically towards rare breeds and, in the fullness of time, her published results will make very interesting reading. You are welcome to participate here if you wish: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=-OrXGdmFdUK6HF2nFeXrPjtLNJwv8PBKpNM69M-srHFUQkJSQjk4TVhNVFZCTUxUUTBESDM5UTNRMC4u

    We are delighted that the newly commissioned website is up and running. Huge thanks are due to Angela and Alan Frost of Biziserve Ltd who made themselves very familiar with the requirements of the Society and built the site with great understanding. The previous site was very functional but this one is easier to navigate and allows much better access from handheld devices. There are a few areas still in development and we will be very pleased to hear of any suggestions to amend and improve the site. Simply phone the Society during contact hours or email .
