Awarded For: Awarded for Supreme Champion Shetland Pony.

Donated By: Donated by the late Harry Sleigh and family of St John Wells, Turriff, Scotland and first presented in 1977. The trophy was originally the Cowdar Cup and presented in Scotland to the Best Clydesdale each year. The cup is approximately 100 years old. Whilst George and Christine Barrett were visiting Scotland in 1975, Mr Sleigh commented he would like to donate a trophy for the Supreme Shetland - so in turn the Cowdar Cup became the Wells Cup, named after the Sleigh's Stud. The Cup arrived in Australia in 1976 and Mr Milton Evans had the cup engraved and the base refitted. The base was again refitted in 1984 courtesy of Mr George Vyner as the base could not hold any more shields. The cup could initially be won outright by winning it three times in succession or five times in all. George and Christine Barrett won the cup outright in 1992, but due to the prestige and history of the cup, chose to donate it back to the Society as a Perpetual Trophy.
