Very sad sale of our wonderful shetland who has made our daughters racing dreams come true of being selected for LHIS, Hong Kong, Prague, Badminton, Burghley, Windsor and many more, he is sensible and competitive !

He has succesfully competed sj, arena eventing, been to pc camp, loves going hunting, mounted games and even had a go at horseball !

He hacks alone and in company, my children go off for hours playing in the woods building jumps, crossing rivers etc, he leads really nicely off a horse so is easy to keep fit in the winter months whilst the kids are forced to go to school.

He was succesfully shown as a youngster and many people have said he would do well in the show ring, he has good uphill conformation and is level headed enough to show and race if his new jockey wished to do so. He is good to shoe, clip, catch etc my daughter does everything herself with him.

This is a very sad sale but at only 11 he would be so bored sat in the field doing nothing, he is only offered to a 5 star knowledgable home, many more photos and endless videos available.

Mandy is a lovely stamp of a Shetland and has the nicest temperament. Been there and done it.

Been handled by kids and will stand to be groomed all day. Will live in or out.

Will ride on and off the lead rein.

This pony has been used to generations of kids and has one of the kindest temperaments you will ever find in the pony!

Just an absolute pleaser to have around. Not many good pony’s around like her as you all know pony’s like this are like gold dust!

Would be an ideal therapy pony or first kids pony.

SHETLAND PAIR

Iz and Poppy are a bonded pair of Shetland mares, seeking a home as the only pair of shetlands in the home!

They are good to handle in all ways and seek a quiet lease of life with a loving family. Iz provides a little more comfort to Poppy who is the more timid of the two.

Due to their breed and size they require good fencing and someone that can manage their grazing requirements.

  • Lead Rein & First Ridden
  • HOYS Quality

Minke is quite simply the pony every mother dreams of finding.

A stunning 8-year-old fully registered black Standard Shetland mare, beautifully bred, with exceptional conformation, an abundance of hair, clean limbs and the most wonderful temperament.

Minke has been totally home produced and successfully competed as a Lead Rein and First Ridden across Showing, Dressage, Showjumping and Working Hunter, including placing in HOYS qualifiers contested.

She is a fabulous-moving pony, effortlessly covering the ground while remaining smooth and comfortable for a tiny jockey. Most importantly, she has a genuine desire to please and gives her all every time.

Minke’s breeding is outstanding. Her full sister qualified for HOYS as a Lead Rein pony, while another closely related pony was crowned Open Shetland of the Year and M&M Lead Rein Pony of the Year at HOYS.

Away from the competition ring, Minke is every bit as special.

She hacks alone or in company, is excellent in all traffic seen, loads and travels happily, clips beautifully and is a dream for the farrier. She does not need hours of working in or ear plugs.

At home she is happy to stand for hours being groomed, pampered and adored, and is equally happy taking her little jockey for a quiet hack along the beach.

Kind, genuine, honest, willing and wonderfully straightforward, Minke really is the sort of pony that can be enjoyed by the whole family. She has been loved and cherished and is now looking for a very special 5⭐️ home where she will be treasured and given the opportunity to continue doing what she loves.

A VERY SPECIAL PONY — 5⭐️ HOMES ONLY

Serious enquiries welcome. Videos and further information available to genuinely interested homes.

Top class Shetland with loads of scope and very true to type.

Lovely natured and easy to do in all ways. Recently broken and goes beautifully on the lead and rides around the place off the lead rein just needs further education in the school.

Masses of bone. Won many times in hand in excellent company and has been ridden around at shows and not phased at all by the atmosphere .

Fantastic prospect for next season especially the HOYS non Welsh Lead Rein.

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
