Our affiliation fee is just £25 per show, and you can host as many TFSS qualifiers as you would like! 🙌

Applications for shows wishing to host qualifiers will be released through Entrymaster VERY soon — so keep those eyes peeled! 👀✨

💛 EXHIBITOR MEMBERSHIP

TFSS membership for 2027 will be just £10 per exhibitor.

You DO NOT need to be a member to enter or qualify at one of our affiliated shows. 🥳

However, once qualified, you must become a TFSS member in order to compete in the Championship classes. 🏆

⚖️ WOULD YOU LIKE TO BECOME A TFSS JUDGE?

We are also welcoming expressions of interest from experienced, knowledgeable and friendly people who would like to join our TFSS judging panel for 2027. 💚

🤝✨ 2027 SPONSORSHIP APPLICATIONS ARE NOW WELCOME! ✨🤝

We have already had so many of our wonderful sponsors from this year carrying over and supporting us again for 2027, and we cannot thank you enough. 💚💛

Your support helps us continue building something genuinely friendly, inclusive and positive for the showing community, and we are incredibly grateful to every business, individual and supporter who gets behind TFSS. 🐴🏆

If you would like to sponsor TFSS in 2027, support a class or Championship, get involved in another way, or if you simply have an idea that you think could make TFSS even better, we would absolutely love to hear from you. ✨

No idea is too small — TFSS has always been about community, and we want our members, exhibitors, shows, judges and supporters to feel part of what we are building. 💚

📧 For sponsorship, judging, qualifier affiliations or any other enquiries, please contact our Secretary Craig McClelland at [email protected]

We want 2027 to be even bigger, friendlier and more exciting — with more shows, more qualifiers, more opportunities and, most importantly, more people enjoying showing their horses and ponies! 🐴✨

💚🏆 WE DID IT — OUR VERY FIRST TFSS CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW! 🏆💚

As we drive home tonight, cars absolutely loaded with boxes, banners, rosettes and everything else, we honestly have the happiest hearts and the most grateful minds.

THANK YOU. 💚

Today was the very first TFSS Championship Show, and seeing something that started as an idea become a day filled with horses, ponies, competitors, families, friends, laughter, encouragement and some truly wonderful moments has meant more to us than we can put into words.

To every single competitor who came and supported us — THANK YOU. Whether you went home with a championship, a rosette, a qualification, or simply some lovely memories, you were part of TFSS history today. Congratulations to all of our winners, and a huge well done to everyone who took part. 🏆

To our incredible judges — thank you for giving us your time, your knowledge, your experience and, most importantly, your kindness and encouragement.

To our committee, stewards, runners, secretaries, helpers, volunteers and everyone working behind the scenes — you were AMAZING. Some of you have worked incredibly hard for weeks and months to get us to today, and we will never forget it.

To our wonderful sponsors — without your generosity and belief in what we are trying to create, days like today simply wouldn’t be possible.

To our friends and families who have helped, carried, packed, unpacked, listened, supported and probably wondered at times what on earth we were doing 😂 — thank you for being there.

And a huge thank you to Solihull Riding Club for welcoming us and providing such a fabulous venue. We loved being there so much that we can officially tell you…

📅 TFSS CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW 2027 IS BOOKED! 📅

💚 SATURDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER 2027 💚

Put it in your diaries!

We have received so much lovely feedback today, and we are incredibly grateful for every message and kind word. Our door will always be open. TFSS will always listen, learn and look at how we can improve.

Was everything perfect? Of course not — this was our first Championship Show, and we’ve already come away with lots of lessons, lots of ideas and plenty of little things we want to tweak for next year.

We will be adding even more qualifiers for 2027 wherever we can, and we have so much planned for TFSS.

But tonight, we’re simply going to enjoy this moment.

The cars are full.

We’re tired.

But our hearts are very, very full. 💚

And one final thing…

🌟 THE TFSS KINDNESS AWARDS 🌟

Keep an eye on our pinned post because we’ll be talking much more about these over the coming week. Today wasn’t just about winning — we noticed the kindness, encouragement and sportsmanship happening around us too, and we haven’t forgotten it. 💚

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to absolutely EVERYONE who played a part today.

Whether you judged a class, stewarded a ring, ran a message, sponsored a prize, helped in the car park, entered one class or ten, brought a child for their first Championship, cheered from the ringside, helped a fellow competitor or simply wished us well…

You helped make our first TFSS Championship Show happen.

And we will never forget that.

💚 THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 💚

Here’s to TFSS 2027… 🥂🏆🐴

Alex, Craig & the whole TFSS Team
💚 The Friendly Showing Society 💚

From Vikki Stanley x

I can’t quite believe the TFSS Championship Show is tomorrow!

It’s taken a huge amount of hard work, plenty of stress and around 4,000 WhatsApp messages to bring everything together, but I’m incredibly proud and excited to be part of it.

Tomorrow will also be very personal for me, as our Supreme of Show will be awarded the John Stanley Memorial Trophy in memory of my dad. I know he would have been incredibly proud to see it presented.

It has truly been a team effort, and I’m so grateful to everyone who has helped, supported, volunteered or competed throughout the year.

Good luck to all our competitors. Have a safe journey, enjoy your day and please come and say hello.

Let’s do this, Team TFSS!

Just wanted to share this little photo tonight because this is where it all started for me ❤️

My first ever showing show at Sands Farm, at one of the wonderful Lyn Russell’s shows. I remember being new to it all, probably not having a clue what I was doing 😂 but being surrounded by supportive people and lovely judges who encouraged me.

We all have to start somewhere.

And I suppose looking at this picture tonight makes tomorrow feel even more special.

Those of you who know me know that, whatever I’ve been involved with over the years — showing, filming, social media, making endless videos or generally running around with a camera — I’ve always just loved cheering people on and seeing people do well.

That really is where TFSS came from.

Tomorrow is a pretty big day for us. We know there are lots of shows happening and lots of choices about where to go, so I’m just going to say it — we would genuinely love and appreciate your support.

Come and have a go. Come and enjoy yourself. If it’s your first show, we’ll help you. If you’re nervous, tell us. If you’ve been doing it for years, come and show us how it’s done! ❤️

All we want is to give people a really good day and hopefully help make a few dreams come true along the way.

And on a very personal note, seeing you all there tomorrow would make one of mine come true too.

I’ll be there doing what I love, camera in hand, probably running around like a lunatic trying to capture everyone 😂 and the whole team is genuinely excited to welcome you.

So from the slightly younger me in this photograph, starting out at his first showing show, to where we are today…

Come and support us tomorrow. Be part of it. It would mean more to me than you know. 💚💛

Good luck everyone. Let’s have a bloody lovely day. ❤️
TFSS 🩷🤍💚
