Dancing Dartmoor ponies will feature at the Westcountry Equine Fair tomorrow, December 1, at Westpoint in Exeter.
Friends of the Dartmoor Hill Pony, and five other teams from the South West, will be competing in the quadrille dancing competition at the fair in the afternoon.
Each team will have four riders and the displays to music will last five minutes.
A spokesperson for the fair said: ‘This year we welcome the return of the unaffiliated quadrille competition, which is set to bring glamour, colour, fun and storytelling once again.’
The Westcountry Equine Fair takes place this weekend, December 1 and 2, and includes a horse and hound show jumping challenge and junior show jumping competition.
The spokesperson added: ‘The junior show jumping competition has 15 competitors, all 14 and under, an amazing platform for them to perform. The horse and hound pony club challenge has four teams of four riders and four runners with dogs, a fast-paced and fun-filled challenge for both teams and the audience.’
The show also includes an equestrian shopping village, with more than 200 companies.
