Martletwy Young Farmers Club's 51st annual show picked up where it left off at the golden jubilee event held on the splendid Cresselly Downs two years ago.
The weather was kind, the crowds flowed in and everyone - public and exhibitors alike - thoroughly enjoyed a beautiful summer's day.
From over 100 horse and pony breeders, who brought along more than 300 entries, the championship was given to Jessica John with her Show Hunter, the eight-year-old bay mare Seren Tywyll over Catherine Evans with her three-year-old dark bay colt - the Section A winner Crumpwell Lewis.
There were excellent results also for Abigail Green on the five-year-old dapple grey gelding, Aran Joyful Boy; Nicole George with her eight-year-old dun gelding, Clanmills Mister Fudge; the Todaro sisters -Sophie and Sabrina - with their nine-year-old bay Arastone Jellybaby and eight-year-old Cotspring Chorus, respectively, and for Taryn Williams on her winning Shetland, the 11-year-old black mare, Merrylegs.
In the cattle ring it was the turn of Matthew van Djik to take supreme with his two-year--old Limousin heifer, Slebech Rose, and the team of five award went to a trio of Salers from Dennis and Hilda Rogers making up a group with a couple of Belgian Blue bulls from Andrew Cole.
Fourteen-year-old Gethin Robinson led the Hereford entries with his two-year-old bull, Castell Moel Unrivalled; Meirion and Linda Jones claimed the Simmental prize for their seven-year-old cow, Dyfed Sage 3rd, and Dennis and Hilda Rogers headed the 'other Continental' section with their reserve supreme animal, the four-year-old Saler heifer, Coland Neptune.

Since moving to West Wales from Wrexham in 1976 Bob and Betty Williams have successfully bred and shown Shire Horses, Hunters and Murray Grey cattle, but their latest interest has been in Zwartbles sheep, running a breeding flockof 30 on their 10-acre holding.
It was their two-year-old ewe that won the sheep championship ahead of Bryant Rees with his winning Suffolk ram.
From the dog show, best was given to the 18-month-old black and white Cocker Spaniel, Molly, entered by Saphire Holland with Sue Jones's three-year-old American Cocker Spaniel bitch, Millie, in reserve.
A place to see and admire that craftwork of other ladies and gents - and youngsters - was the horticultural marquee where Len Thomas excelled with his vegetables and flowers, Gwyn Beynon demonstrated how to grow onions and Alice James retained the Millenium trophy which she won two years ago in the children's section.
