In November 1971 a group of East Anglian native pony breeders met at Breccles Hall, Norfolk, at the invitation of Carole Archdale. The suggestion that stud owners could run their own show in order to promote interest in native ponies at home and abroad was made by Anne Rolinson and this was enthusiastically received.

From this initial meeting, the first native pony show was held at Anne Rolinson's Millfields Riding Establishment, Stetchworth, Newmarket in June 1972 . The show was sponsored by the native pony breeders and Norwich Union Insurance. Norwich Union also very kindly presented the silver cantering mare and foal trophy for the breeder gaining most points at the show and from which our logo is taken. Quickly gaining popularity, by 1978 the show had expanded over two days and in 1981 moved to Huntingdon Racecourse.

A unique show has evolved providing a section for each breed and also classes for mixed mountain and moorland breeds so that all native ponies are catered for both in hand and ridden, working hunter, driving and dressage. The show is affiliated to the N.P.S. and Ponies UK and has qualifiers for the Baileys Horse Feeds final at Olympia and HOYS qualifiers for WHP, lead rein and first ridden.

Judges of the highest calibre have accepted invitations to judge and have given the benefit of their knowledge and experience.
