The Northern Counties Pony Association was formed in 1964 with a small number of branches, this has now risen to 9, covering an area from Cumbria and Durham in the North down to Shropshire and Leicester in the South and including most counties in between. The Associations nine Branches are Cheshire, Cumbria, Derbyshire, Lancashire, Leicestershire & Rutland, Maelor & Shropshire, Nottingham & Lincol

nshire, Staffordshire and Yorkshire. Each branch elects up to three trustees to sit on the committee of the parent body, the General Council. If you would like to get more involved why not apply to be a delegate? On joining the NCPA, members can choose one of the nine Branches to which their membership will be attached. Most Branches hold a number of shows and events each year. These vary as each Branch is responsible for its own calendar of events and functions. Every member of the NCPA is entitled to reduced entry fees at all of the various NCPA Shows. This website will provide you with everything you need to know from how to join, show dates, qualifiers, how to become a Judge and much more.
