Registered standard black Shetland gelding, very smart with lots of hair.
5 years old
Purchased as a two year old directly from the breeder, we find ourselves without a regular rider and he’s currently wasted in the field as a weaning companion. This has been a difficult decision because we think the world of him.
Lightly but successfully shown locally on the lead rein and in hand, with lots of wins/champs. 3rd (highest placed Shetland) in the M&M championship at SWPA. Also qualified for STARS in M&M LR. We are very much amateur/home produced; Ross could be a serious contender for the qualifiers next year. Equally could be a happy hacker or Pony Club allrounder, just needs a family who will enjoy him.
Although he’s been purely a lead rein pony for tiny-tot riders, he spent a few weeks during Summer 24 with a small teen who rode him off the lead rein, on busy roads, practiced games and jumping. Nothing phased him; he’s not spooky and more whoa than go. Whilst away he also attended PC camp with a novice lead rein rider.
He’s been to a handful of PC rallies and one day of camp this year.
Used to farm traffic, quads, dogs, bikes etc. Turns out on his own or with others. Loads and travels no problem. Good to clip, farrier, dentist.
Although he's being sold as a lead rein pony; with a little schooling could be a lovely First Ridden.
No history of sweet itch or laminitis, always been barefoot.
Up to date with vaccinations.
Currently chubby and fluffy!
Zoe Snape saddle pad, English bridle and Le Beau Cheval lead rein outfit available by separate negotiation.
I have some more videos on WhatsApp; my technical skills are very limited, serious enquiries only please.

A ‘Star’ in the making - A fabulous opportunity for somebody wanting to put their own stamp on a future superstar. Coloured Shetland Ponies of top quality are few and far between, and if / when you do find them they are not readily made available.
A special boy who has everything there. He is beautifully marked with a big frame to fill, already possessing masses of hair. He is a huge, scopey, ground covering mover and carefully produced will be an absolute eye full of a pony.
He is 2024 born, fully registered, yearling rising 2yo Colt a Dutch imported pony by the renowned and extremely successful huge moving piebald stallion ‘G-Star’. He is a good height already and is expected to make an up to height pony at full maturity.
Star has spent the Summer out in a bachelor herd of other young colts with no issues at all. A kind and quiet colt who is never confrontational with other ponies or people alike. Very well socialised, he knows no different to that of the life of a gelding. Grown on naturally, not pushed or pumped.
Based preston Lancashire, starts with a 2 we purchased him of Claire Conner

Height - Registered stock must not exceed 40 inches (102 cm) at three years or under, or 42 inches (107 cm) at four years or over. Ponies are measured from the withers to the ground by measuring stick and on a level stance, preferably concrete should be used
Colour - Shetland Ponies may be any colour known in horses except spotted
Coat - The coat changes according to the seasons of the year; a double coat in winter with guard hairs which shed rain and keep the pony’s skin completely dry in the worst weather. By contrast, the summer coat is short and should carry a beautiful silky sheen. At all times the mane and tail hair should be long straight and profuse and the feathering of the fetlocks straight and silky
Head - The head should be small, carried well and in proportion. Ears should be small and erect, wide set but pointing well forward. Forehead should be broad wtih bold, dark, intelligent eyes. Blue eyes are not acceptable. Muzzle must be broad with nostrils wide open. Teeth and jaw must be correct
Hind Legs - The thighs should be strong and muscular with well shaped, strong hocks, neither hooky nor too straight. When viewed from behind, the hindlegs should not be set too widely apart, nor should the hocks be turned in
Fore Legs - Should be well placed with sufficient good, flat bone. Strong forearm. Short, balanced cannon bone. Springy pasterns
Feet - Tough, round and well shaped - not short, narrow, contracted or thin
Action - Straight, free action using every joint and tracking-up well
General - A most salient and essential feature of the Shetland Pony is its general air of vitality (presence), stamina and robustness
