Two Dartmoor enthusiasts who organised an online showing “extravaganza” were astonished to attract competitors from as far afield as Australia, New Zealand and America.
The show’s organisers were among many to turn to virtual classes while events have been suspended owing to the coronavirus but were still surprised to receive more than 100 entries.
As well as giving amateur and professional producers from all over the world the chance to share images of their ponies, the show also raised money for organisations supporting the Dartmoor breed.
One of the organisers, Debbie Roberts-Jones, said she had seen that virtual showing had been embraced by the Exmoor and Dales pony societies and wanted to do something similar for the Dartmoors.
Save our sheep farmers, buy British wool this winter Chloe Street
We are facing a frosty, windswept first few weeks of January, and with little else to do each day than walk, now is an excellent time to invest in a warm woolly jumper.
But rather than opt for the first sweater you see in the sales, might I suggest you consider purchasing one made from 100 per cent wool?
Why? Because the pandemic has been catastrophic for wool farmers in Britain (and across the world), and they need all the support they can get right now.
When Covid hit, wool product manufacturing companies closed and department stores cancelled orders, which interrupted the supply chain causing a slump in demand for wool globally. Wool is a commodity and as a result, the price of fleeces dropped by 50 per cent.
