The Warrenton Pony Show

The Warrenton Pony Show The Oldest Pony Show in America: Held in Historic Warrenton, Virginia The Junior Committee operates under the supervision of the Warrenton Pony Show, Inc.

Dear Exhibitors and Friends,

The Warrenton Pony Show, the Oldest Pony Show in America, is the only recognized show run by juniors eighteen years of age and younger. Board of Directors: a group of local adult volunteers, some of whom are ex-members of the Junior Committee. The knowledge and practical experience that is gained from producing this five-day "A" rated show is valuable in a multitude o

f ways. The Pony Show helps to instill the importance of responsibility and service to the community in the members of the Junior Committee and the exhibitors at the show. In 1999, the Board of Directors started a scholarship fund in memory of Puller Hughes, a long time friend and advisor of the Pony Show. This fund has allowed the Board to award college scholarships to deserving members of the Junior Committee. We would like to extend a very special thank you to all of our faithful sponsors and supporters who have kept the spirit and tradition of this show alive over the years. Without your support, the Pony Show would not be able to contribute to the Fauquier SPCA on a yearly basis as it does, nor would the immense history and tradition of this show be able to continue on into the 21st century.
