PRISCILLA NEILL TROPHY

 

Priscilla Neill Trophy History, Nomination Guideline’s & Rules

 

Council felt that it might be helpful to members to explain a little about the Priscilla Neil Trophy as to

its origin and to suggest some guidelines if wanting to submit a Nomination for the Council to

consider.

 

The Trophy is awarded at the Welsh Pony & Cob Society of New Zealand’s Annual General Meeting

in June of each year.

 

The Perpetual Trophy was donated to the Society by Mrs. Priscilla Neill in 1997.

 

Mrs. Priscilla Neil was the Society’s first Publicity Officer, a past Patron, a Life Member and

Promoter of Welsh Ponies and Cobs in New Zealand for over thirty years.

Priscilla loved the Welsh Cob and in her later years imported Sydeham Godetia fulfilling a lifetime

dream.

 

The Trophy was based on the Mare “Coed Coch Pelydrog” from the book “Welsh Champions” by

Wynne Davies, Page 36.

A Mrs. Elizabeth Naylor of Dunedin made the Trophy which you can see a photo of in Studbook

Volume VII.

 

The Priscilla Neil Trophy is awarded annually in recognition of “Dedication to the Society, Breed, or

outstanding Achievement” “And in the case of an animal – “for outstanding contribution to the

breed.". Not posthumous
