On the last weekend of November Hollybank Stud once again made the big trip south, this time taking four ponies. On the Saturday we went to Balclutha A&P show with two ponies, Cedar Park Regal Man was Champion Welsh and little brother Hollybank Royal Silver was Reserve Champion. On Sunday we headed to Gore in 4 degs and sleety showers to the Southland Welsh Show. We considered putting the ponies on the floats and heading home as we were sure the show would be cancelled, but in true Southland style everyone turned up and carried on as usual, with instructions for us to wear our gumboots out in the ring! Cedar Park Regal Man was Champion Section B Adult and Hollybank Victory Dance was Champion Section B Youngstock and went on to be Runner-up Supreme Purebred Welsh.
