Social Media & Bullying Policy
We would like to encourage all of our members to have a read of the following document: Social Media and Internet Policy 2023 As Social Media becomes such a big part of our lives - it has become a double edged sword.

We are so blessed to have such a wonderful community and array of members and so we…

The End of an Era!
After working as Secretary for the Highland Pony Society for over 21 years, I am handing over the reins on the final day of March. I would like to take the chance to thank all members and friends of the Society for their support over all this time. I’m so lucky to have worked in a job I've enjoyed so much where, every day, I feel valued - that is so special! It is ‘Au Revoir’ rather than ‘Goodbye’ as I will support Eilidh Caddden as she wants and will also be at the Highland Show and other events to enjoy the action - this Centenary year and in the…
