Top quality 8 year old Shetland gelding by Kerloch Masterstroke.

He has had some fantastic results in his first year under saddle contending in the RIHS open and pretty Polly M&M classes but also in hand winning and then going on to take best gelding, champion standard Shetland, Champion overall shetland/miniature then Overall in hand Supreme at the Royal Lancashire Show 2025. Correct, straight moving and with presence.

A genuine lead rein pony who has gained miles on the clock in a variety of ways including rides out, dressage and showing. He’s had a little dabble at LR WHP which he thoroughly enjoys. He is not phased by traffic. Sensible and well mannered. Excellent with children and will happily stand for hours to be groomed and fussed.

Good with farrier. Easy to handle and straightforward in all ways.

Currently established as a lead rein pony but With a confident jockey he would likely come off the lead, however this has not been tried due to lack of opportunity.

A much-loved pony who is only available to the very best of homes and due to us having too many horses/ ponies to currently manage.

BONDED PAIR

Sunshine and Dinky are a wonderful pair of geldings looking for a loving home together. Sunshine is a charming Welsh pony, and Dinky is a delightful little Shetland. The two have formed a close bond and would love a home where they are the only ponies in the home.

Dinky was late to be castrated, so their introductions were done carefully, and they’ve since become the best of friends. They’re now settled, happy, and inseparable. Both ponies are very easy to handle in all aspects – kind, polite, and a pleasure to have around.

Sunshine and Dinky would make perfect family ponies or lovely companions. They’re gentle, well-mannered, and full of character, bringing smiles to everyone who meets them. They deserve a home where they can stay together and continue their friendship in comfort and care.

Really cute, very reliable little pony. Done picnic rides, great in traffic, very interactive and full of character.

Doesn't get laminitis at all even on a decent field with ad lib hay!

He wears a snaffle for everything and will happily trot calmly over poles & little jumps.

He goes down country lanes and around the arena with his tiny tots on board.

He loads well and is barefoot. He's out 24/7 in a herd on our farm with big horses, plus cows, plus ponies!

He loves going on the lorry and for days out.

He's happy in his stable and he's also happy to be left out in the field in all weathers.

We want a forever home for him where he'll be loved and very important like he feels he is!

Based at Rolleston Centre

Meet Josh, a gorgeous little chap who is looking for his new home as a non-ridden companion. Josh would suit am experienced home with other shetlands that require similar grazing management.

Josh came into our care with very little handling experience. Our team are now gaining trust from him and he is progressing really well in his general handling. Due to this Josh requires a home where his new borrower will continue his training, making him very rewarding to work with.

Josh is currently living out 24/7 in a mixed gelding herd. He is good to enter the field with and is a friendly and curious little guy. Once he trusts you he will be your new best friend.

Can you offer Josh a loving home?

Full up 42" jumping Shetland First ridden pony 6 years.
Joey is one of the most honest straight forward first jumping ponies you could ever wish to find. With a jumping ability that really is outstanding for a Shetland.
He all so would make a safe and reliable racing shetland.
He has a easy mannerly way around a course, and happily jumps what ever asked of him.
He also has scope and ability to jump Hight and width.
He is an easy ride safe, straight forward a truly fun pony. He does not take kick kick to get him going he enjoys his job.
He is easy to do in all ways.
He had done a great job for us taking my daughter around her first full up BSPS course, really teaching her a great deal for which I will always be grateful.
This is a hard sale as we think so much of this pony and what he has done for us.
Only reason for sale is my daughter has grown so much over the winter.
I am happy for new owners to try him at any show as I only want the best for him.
He is realistically priced for a pony of his quality and ability.

Chester is a stunning silver dun registered Shetland gelding, 87cm.

Broken last year and has had tots on him walking and trotting. He has been on holiday since December so would need to be bought back into work slowly.

He has a lovely temperament and loves to be brushed and fussed over.

He is good to clip, catch, and load and travels perfectly.

Chester has been to a few shows with us in-hand and has always behaved well, including the Suffolk County Show where he took this all in his stride.

We would love him to find a family home where he would get lots of attention and fun, and continue on with his education.

Chester currently comes in at night out during the day, he will turnout alone or with friends mares or geldings he is very friendly.

He is bare foot and has them trimmed around every 10 weeks his feet don’t grow very fast.

Tack and rugs available separately

This pony has a kind, genuine temperament and is a pleasure to handle. Good to catch, groom, tack up, load and travel. Currently ridden by a 6 year old on the lead. Good in traffic and open spaces.

Has experience in hacking, lead-rein and first ridden but is very green off the lead. Pork Pie would suit a fun all-rounder or competitive home. She is set up and ready for the season ahead if she doesnt sell we will run her in the RI qualifiers as she is more than good enough. She has won with us every time she has been to a show.

Up to date with vaccinations, teeth, and farrier.

Maeve is the sweetest little lady who just loves to please. She loves her jumping and will turn on a sixpence and is super fast against the clock.

She will walk, trot and canter through water. Maeve is stunning to look at and has moves to die for. She would make a gorgeous workers pony, definitely a HOYS prospect.

Has previously raced.

Everything is done by my little girl - even the clipping!

Never sick or sorry. She is a gorgeous little lady who will only go to the best of homes. She isn’t a kick along so wouldn’t suit a first ridden or nervous child, and she definitely doesn’t want to be on the lead rein.
