Registered two yr old black shetland gelding to reach 42 inches.
Sire-Sharptor Aries
Dam-Lakehead Myrtle
Date of birth-17/05/24

He is a smashing little lad who is at the begginning of his journey and is looking for an experinced and knowlegeable home that can continue his education. He has huge potential and in the right hands would excel in the show ring or make a super racing shetland.
He happily lets you catch him, loves being groomed, good for the farrier and does not make a fuss being left on his own when I leave the yard on my horse for a ride. He also has been to show as a yearling and was good as gold.

This is a very sad sale as I am giving up all horses due to ill health so finding a right home is a top priority.

Please no time wasters

A good little lead rein or second ridden.

10 hh, grey gelding, 6 yrs old. Bought for my daughter backed and ridden away professionally.

Sadly my daughter is not interested so its time to find him a new home.

Priced to sell quickly as I've been putting it off, hoping she'd change her mind.

He'd make a cracking little pony club pony but needs some regular schooling.

He's been used exclusively for hacking, alone and in company, good in traffic or out on the bridal ways. He's out of work at the moment but ridden three times a week and he's a pleasure.

He has had a small amount of schooling, small jumps and poles.

He'd suit a small confident jockey as a second ridden and they'll have a great time. He's not dead behind the eyes, but he is sensible.

He's a typical little gelding.

Box, shoe, clip, wash.

Never sick or sorry, really lovely movement and paces.

37 inch registered Shetland gelding 5 years old. Super cute and will be an amazing kids pony in the future. He’s only young and does require more education. Backed broken and been to first show. Ridden around, stood at ringside with toddlers running about, baby in pram and other pony nearly all day. He was 3rd in young handler with my 2 year old (assisted) He wouldn’t really trot as it was like he knew she was too small to keep up.

First to the gate.. good to catch. Respects fencing.. loves fuss and attention. Good for farrier. Will have a hesitation at ramp if your not carrying a likit but if you are he’s straight up, travels well (backwards) and will stand on box without any issues. Will walk next to pram. He’s not a nippy type and my daughter can literally sit by his food bowl whilst he’s eating.

No dealers or first time pony owners.

Only available as I desperately need to reduce down to the pony’s we are showing. I just don’t have enough time to do everything properly.

I am probably going to be disliked by the girls forever for letting him go.. he has given my daughter so much confidence on the ground.

Zodiac is a fantastic lead rein pony, forward and willing. Will pop a course of jumps, great at speed rounds, schools beautifully will just pop into canter, hacks out on roads and round farm machinery. He has done many local shows in hand and ridden he is always in the ribbons. He has been shown at county level in hand, doing very well and ridden. He is a very smart little pony.

This is a sad sale as he is hopelessly out grown by my nine year old. He has been in our possession since a yearling. We have encouraged him to go off lead from the beginning of his ridden career but he is just much more confident as a lead rein. He will go off lead at home in the school or out hacking, he can be cheeky at times so we do that more cautiously but on the lead I can’t fault him. My daughter is ready for a step up from her beloved pony.
He is good to do in all ways. Will stand all day long for children to groom. He is a very affectionate boy
Up to date with vaccination and feet
We are looking for the very best of homes for this special boy

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
