Show Report: The Friesian & Barock Pinto Horse Show 2024


On Sunday 22nd September we held a show for Friesian and Barock pinto horses and tie it in on the same weekend as the Friesian grading day.



This show was just for fun and we invited owners to bring their Friesian and Barock Pinto horses along to show them off. It was a lovely day and particularly special to see some of the horses previously owned by Friesians Scotland returning and all looking super.


The first class was split on the day as there were a large number of Barock Pintos and only two Friesians so it was better to judge these horses separate, starting with the two Friesian youngsters.


Two year old Friesians

1st – Venus of FS

2nd – Trojan of FS – Kim Clark


Barock Pinto youngsters 1-3 years

1st – Loki of FS – Stevie Moonie

2nd – Luna Eclipse – Claire Smith

3rd - Laura Davie – Morrighan

At the judges discretion a highly commended rosette was given to Sandi Elliot for the standard of turnout and condition of her two year old horse Maverick.


One more commended rosette was given in this class to Jessica Reynolds for her handling skills of her exuberant yearling colt.
