Lickfolds Snowstorm

Since being crowned the Carrs BMW Dartmoor/Exmoor/Shetland pony of the year at HOYS 2008 and Best of Breed and 5th overall at Olympia horse show, Lickfolds Snowstorm has continued his success into the 2009 season. Owned and bred by Anne and Kevin Lampard and Ms.J.Newbery, and ridden by Molly Simpson, Storm has had a fantastic season so far.

He started off the season qualifying for the Royal International Horse show at Ivybridge, which was then swiftly followed by him taking the In-hand Dartmoor accolade and star rosette at Devon County show, where he also won the Dartmoor ridden for the third year in a row. At Royal Cornwall show, he won the Dartmoor/Exmoor/Shetalnd ridden, qualifying for the Horse Of the Year show, where he also clinched the overall ridden championship of all the sections. At the NPS Championship show, Storm had first day succes winning the NFU Dartmoor ridden class for a second time. Then to top the day off he claimed the Baileys Supreme ridden Olympia ticket.

A week later Storm went on to stand top of the line at the Dartmoor Championship show in the Olympia qualifier taking his second ticket of the year (which could be history?), which was then subsequently passed to Shilstone Rocks Snowgoose standing second. Storm later went on to take the supreme ridden accolade for the second year running.

Dartmoor Pony Society Supporters Group - Extract from August 2008 Newsletter
Mrs. Sue Martin writes : "We are very pleased to have set up the above group for which the main aims will be:

  1. To promote the pedigree Dartmoor Pony, always a good idea.
  2. To provide a greater social side to the Dartmoor Pony Society, this could be achieved by any event an individual wanted to arrange, it might be as simple a coffee morning or a quiz night. Hopefully it will allow members who do not show to have a chance to meet up with fellow Dartmoor enthusiasts.
  3. Any fund raising which arises will be beneficial to the Society, this would depend on the activity, we might not make any profit or we might make a lot. Any money raised would not be spent on the daily running costs of the Society but specific items. E.g. something for the showfield.

Further details will be given at the AGM and in following Newsletters.

This group will be co-ordinated by Sue Martin, she can be contacted on 01822 880223 if you wish to discuss any details or have any ideas. Please check if you are arranging an event with Sue to confirm that you will be covered by insurance and if she needs to arrange a risk assessment form to be completed.

If any member is arranging an event please contact the office so it can be included on this site.


The Society wishes to give Members the opportunity to include photographs of their ponies on this web site.

If any Member has suitable photographs preferably taken by themselves or their family, to avoid problems of copyright, and suitable for inclusion on this web site including the home page please e-mail them to secretary@dartmoorponysociety.com. N.B. no professional photos please.
