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.

Reluctantly looking for a new home as his jockey has lost interest is the lovely Rupert.

Rupert is a registered 42 inch standard Shetland who we have owned for the last 3 years.

My daughters have done everything with him. He has regularly attended pony club and done a little lead rein showing at local level always coming home with lots of rosettes. He can be ridden on and off the lead rein.

Can jump and enjoys hacking. He is excellent on the lead rein and can step it up for a more older confident rider too .

He loves nothing more than a fuss and is brilliant to bath, clip, farrier, load etc. he is up to date with vaccinations and his teeth. Never sick of sorry never had laminitis and no vices.

Have thousands of photos and videos.

Can come with his wardrobe.

  • He has previously done showing, jumping, and Pony Club with my daughter

Johnnie is a lovely, genuine Performance Shetland who is the perfect lead rein pony and is also happy just off the lead. He has taught two 4-year-olds to ride and is extremely safe in open spaces – nothing fazes him.

He has been on loan for the past year to a novice rider and has lost some fitness due to doing less work, which is reflected in his price.

Johnnie would make a super racing Shetland or WHP for a more competitive child.

He has previously done showing, jumping, and Pony Club with my daughter. He is easy to handle and can be led from another horse, making him an ideal first pony.

Only for sale as we have another pony for our younger daughter who can do the same job and he is too good to be wasted.

Tack included.

Serious enquiries only, please.

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
