Marathon entries made for a long day at the BSPS Finale Show at Rowallan, where 16 hours after the first class started the final supreme was decided.

This was Katelin McCartney with Abba's Blue Rainbow, which has qualified for HOYS at the NSP Summer Championships.

Already with three championships under their belt this season, the nine-year-old gelding is by Ardenhall Missoni and out of Abbas Hunting Pink.

Judges Stuart Hollings, Joanna Griffin and Jack Cochrane called forward the show hunter pony champion Burfordly Sea Lord to be reserve. Ridden by Melissa McCluskey, they too have qualified for HOYS after securing a ticket at Area 5. Recently supreme at the Scottish Horse Show, they were also first at the Great Yorkshire and fifth at the RIHS.

The novice supreme title was presented to Miranda Houton with Waxwing Rose-Hip. By Eyarth Beau Geste and out of Mynach Mary Rose, the four-year-old Welsh section B gelding was at its first show and is owned by Doreen Caldwell,

Reserve was Holly Stewart with Shamrocklake Shirley Temple, a eye ctaching cream six-year-old Welsh section A mare that was bred in Holland. Holly also won the Scottish best rider of the year award.

Erin MacGregor won the mini supreme championship with her lead rein pony Cosford Valeta. Lightly shown, they were a winner early on at Kilmaurs but since then has been concentrating on native classes with the Welsh section A mare Abbeywells Queen Adelaide.

The Gryngallt Prince Regent champion for the combination not to have competed at HOYS or the RIHS was Kirsty Aird with the Connemara Falfield Bee Leaf. Reserve was the mini show hunter pony champion, Bronheulog Charmer, ridden by Emma Outram.

Entries for the RIHS hunter qualifiers were disappointing, champion was Emma Stuart who secured a hat-trick of qualifying wins, heading the smalls, amateurs and working hunter classes. Reserve was Kirsty Aird with the second placed small hunter Novella Gold.

A new Heritage mountain and moorland Olympia qualifier again saw poor entries, the champion – and qualifying for Olympia – was the Welsh section A Nantfforchog Blue Romance, ridden by Natalie Middlemass and reserve was Katie Chappell and Brynseion Bondigo.

Hinwood Two Thyme was the show pony champion, ridden by Sofie Bannister. The seven-year-old Strinesdale Matatdor mare was champion at Ayr and Aylth this year, qualifying for the RIHS.

Connie Snowie's Connemara gelding Doonegal Boy was the performance champion. Connie and the eight-year-old were part of West Perthshire's pony club teams and have qualified for the BD talent development final.

Mountain and moorland Heritage champion was Lynn Paisley with Jean Carnegie's Highland mare Juna of Meggernie. In the working hunter, Becca MacMillan and Coathamdene Just Dyland rounded off a succesful year when lifting the Heritage totle. Mini champion was Millie Ferguson and Waitwith Welsh Magic.
