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.

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.

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

Lots of videos on request

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.

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
