If you are considering holding Dartmoor Pony Classes at your show you may apply to the Dartmoor Pony Society to affiliate so you can award Dartmoor Pony Society special rosettes to the highest placed Dartmoor pony, both in hand and ridden or driven. Please see section below with details of rosettes available.
All Shows who affiliated in the previous competition year are sent affiliation forms during the early winter ahead of the following year.
Below is a list of all shows who affiliated to the Dartmoor Pony Society in 2025. This will hopefully assist shows and increase entries.
For those Secretaries considering affiliating for the first time please find below the requirements for affiliation.
Please note: if your show has more than one in hand class for Dartmoor Ponies only, you must use a Dartmoor Pony Society Panel Judge. See Shows page for list of Dartmoor Pony Judges.
