JENNIFER the Clydesdale mare has been revealed as the "hero image" for the 2017 Royal Highland Show, following on from the success of last year's Morag the Highland cow.
From esteemed Clydesdale breeder Ronnie Black from Newton of Collessie Farm, Fife, Jennifer is the fourth generation of Best in Breed at the Royal Highland Show with her mother, grandmother and great grandmother having each won the prestigious rosette.
Standing 17.2 hands tall, the three-year-old mare will feature the length and breadth of Scotland from April across billboards, buses, social channels and TV. Jennifer will also be on a specially-created tram wrap that be hurtling around the Capital in the months leading up to the show.
Royal Highland Show manager David Jackson said: "Jennifer is simply a stunning horse and a fitting star to feature in the advertising campaign to promote Scotland's premier agricultural show."
Mr Black is naturally proud that his prodigy has been chosen as the show pin up for the 177th event. He said: "Jennifer is from a long line of Royal Highland Show champions and my family and I are delighted that she is featuring in the advertising campaign. While Jennifer will not be at the show, as she will hopefully be caring for her newborn foal, other members of her family will be flying the flag for the Collessie champion."
