THE NATIVE PONY WINTER FAIR CANCELLATION 

A message from our chief Stewart: Willie Allan

After much deliberation and the seeking of advice from various official sources and responsible people, the reluctant decision has been made to cancel the Native Pony Winter Fair, due to take place at Lanark Agricultural Centre on 26th November 2022.

Concerns have been raised with regard to the recent incidences of equine flu, in vaccinated and unvaccinated ponies.

I can assure you the decision was not taken lightly but was felt to be correct. It is paramount that the welfare of animals and the risks involved to ponies whether vaccinated or not were considered.

Exhibitors should have all received an email today explaining what will happen.

I can only apologise but feel we have acted responsibly using the facts presented to us.

We hope that you will continue to support us next year.

Thanks again, any problems or queries feel free to get in touch

Kind regards

The SNFSC committee
