4yo Registered Shetland pony mare with exceptional breeding lines - 39 inches tall.

**PRICE REDUCED FOR QUICK SALE** (as need the stable)

Lattie has been professionally started - long reins, lunges and is happy with a little jockey on board wandering around the yard.

Great with dogs, kids, loads, travels well, exceptionally behaved at arena hires (indoor and outdoor). She has bags of potential and will make top class M&M/LR with someone who is willing to further her education.

We purchased her from Clare Connor in December 2025 for our daughter who has had a huge growth spurt and is even looking big on her 12.2 pony so we feel it is best to find Lattie a knowledgable home with a little jockey to build a partnership from the beginning.

Tentatively looking for a new home because we are focusing on plaited classes.

Up to height, 103cm rising 8, standard Shetland mare by HOYS champion Somahouse G.T.

We purchased her direct from her breeder following a successful in-hand showing career as a youngster. She has turned her hoof to everything from flat showing to WH, PC and hacks.

Has a real look at me quality. Was placed 5th (joint 3rd on marks) at the London International Horse Show in the BSPS LR Working Sports Pony class and was the highest placed Shetland.

Rides off lead as well as being a super LR pony. A huge contender for both of the London WSP classes as well as HOYS & RI. Up ad running ready for the season.

Very sad sale and will only go to the best of homes. Wardrobe by negotiation.

For Sale ; Much Loved 6 Year Old Shetland Lead Rein Pony registered with the Shetland society.

Beautiful palomino and white Shetland gelding, 6 years old, looking for his next loving family home. We have owned him since he was a foal, and he has truly been part of our family for the last 6 years, making this a very sad and difficult sale.

He has been an absolute star for our children and has given our little girl the best memories – attending shows, beach rides, hacks, and in-hand showing. He has also been driven by my two sons and has taken everything in his stride. He has also been ridden and handled by my autistic niece, showing what a kind, patient and gentle little pony he is.

He is:

* A genuine, kind lead rein pony
* Excellent in traffic
* Good with the farrier
* Happy to stand all day being groomed and fussed over
* Sensible and experienced for children to enjoy
* Can be left in the field for weeks/months and brought back into work with no fuss
* Happy to be ridden on the lunge
* Turns out happily with mares or geldings
* Never nasty in any way
* Never bucked, kicked or bitten with any of our children
* Never been sick or sorry while with us

He has not been worked much this year, as our little girl has been borrowing a friend’s pony, but this has never bothered him and he remains the same reliable little pony.

Sadly, our daughter has now outgrown him and he is too small for her, so we feel it is time for him to find another family to love and enjoy him as much as we have.

5* home is an absolute must – this pony means the world to us.

Lots of photos available, as we have had him from the very beginning.

Tack can be available separately if required, including:

* Inky Dinky saddle / Cub saddle
* Driving harness and cart

Serious enquiries only please. We would love to see him go to a kind, knowledgeable home where he will continue to be cherished.

SHETLAND PONY SOCIETY

Website: www.shetlandponystudbooksociety.co.uk

 

Breed Standard

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
