    Highland Pony Society Centenary Celebrations 2023 As many of you will have heard, 2023 is the Centenary of the Highland Pony Society. We are planning on celebrating this in a variety of ways north and south of the border. One of the activities will be a display at the Royal Highland Show in June and possibly other shows.
