Royal Welsh Instragram Takeover by Marit and Emma

Next week it's that time again. The village of Builth Welsh, UK will again be hosting the largest Welsh pony show in the world from July 22 to 25, 2019; the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show (RWAS). Marit Timmermans and Emma van der Burgh will be there and take over the Welsh Studbook Instagram account then.

This year marks the 100th time this event takes place, an anniversary edition. Every year many Dutch people cross the pond to attend this wonderful event.

Dutch participants

A number of avid Welsh enthusiasts enter their own ponies to participate in this show. Quite an undertaking to participate in this international competition, especially with the advent of brexit. So how does this work? What is involved and how do you prepare a pony and yourself?

Instagram Takeover

In the new section ‘Instragram Takeover’ you can follow the journey and take a behind-the-scenes look at the Welsh Cob-girls On Tour; Emma van der Burg and Marit Timmermans.

Introducing:

We are Emma van der Burg and Marit Timmermans. Both very active in the Welsh world for many years.

This year we are heading to Wales, UK with our Welsh Cob stallions Flowergirls Towy (by Rhiannon Cardi) and with last year's NWPCS approved Foryd Daniel (by Foryd Flying Express) to participate in the Royal Welsh Show. We will participate in the Welsh Cob ridden class on Monday and on Thursday in the HOYS Welsh cob ridden class and M&M Working hunter class. For Emma this is the first time as a participant, Marit has participated before with two different Cobs.

We will take you on our journey and give you a glimpse with the preparations and the whole element. This coming week we will leave for the UK and will try to post a daily report on the Instagram account NWPCS Official (@welshstamboek).
