The Pony Club has teamed up with national estate agent Strutt & Parker who will be sponsoring their events for the whole of 2012. To celebrate this new association Strutt & Parker have launched a special Facebook competition with prizes of hospitality tickets for the world renowned Birmingham Horse of The Year Show.

Strutt & Parker have worked with The Pony Club before but this year wanted to offer something new that would engage with a younger audience and their families. The competition is aimed at Pony Club members but is open to all 13-21 year olds. It will run from Friday 18th May until 23rd August. Entry to the competition is through the Strutt & Parker Facebook page www.facebook.com/struttandparker where you will be asked to submit your best pony themed joke.

Mark Wiggin, Partner at Strutt & Parker's Shrewsbury office says "We are hugely excited to be working so closely with The Pony Club again this year and we hope to really interact with horse lovers out there through our exciting Facebook competition. Many families buying and selling through our company have a real love of all things equine and we hope this will excite them and get them involved in our new social media campaign."

The prize is Horse of the Year Show hospitality tickets and an overnight stay at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole for a family of 4 in October. The VIP package includes parking, programme, champagne reception, 3 course lunch and the best available seats for all the shows.  There are also 5 runner-up prizes which are tickets for 2 adults and 2 children to the show. This event is one of the most famous in the horsing calendar and promises to be yet another huge success as it returns this October.

All entries will be judged by Mark Wiggin Regional Chairman and announced on 31st August 2012.
