A big thank you to the members who attended the 2024 National Show at Malvern, we hope you will all attend this years event and hopefully make it bigger and better than previous years.

There is stabling available on site and we’ll still be having our usual Saturday evening BBQ.

Roll on seeing you all at our May Spring Show! Bring on 2025!!

Cream Dilute Classes

From 2022 all Cream Dilutes will need to be registered with the British Palomino Society and their owners members in order to compete in affiliated classes.

This is to bring our Cream Dilutes into line with our Palominos and make sure we can start to put some focus and funds into promoting them.

I look forward to seeing all our fabulous cream dilutes at our shows in 2025.

Free Show Affiliation for 2025

The British Palomino Society has announced free affiliation for both new and returning shows in 2025. “We understand the struggle shows both large and small have suffered over the last 2 years and we want to do everything we can to help shows recover” said chairman Ruth Roberts.

In addition, the British Palomino Society have increased the qualifiers offered to affiliated shows to ensure they draw a good number of entries. This includes the Cream of the Crop final held at their National Championship show in July, open to all cream dilutes including buckskin, cremello and smokey black and any coloured and spotted horses with the dilute gene.

Details on how shows can take advantage of free affiliation and an example class list can be found on the How to Affiliate page.
