Our herd of Pedigree Registered Shetland Ponies, consists of
over
30 mares
all being home bred, we specialize in Cream, Palomino and
Chestnut.
Our first stallions were:- the 34 inch palomino
Earlsdon
Georgian Silver; and
Tyros Little Nipper, 32 and half inches (half - brother to the
Cream stallion, Tyros Storm of Lambridge.)
Our foals have been exported to Holland, France and U.S.A.
In 2003 and 2004 we had a few foals by the 32inch stallions
Halstock Johnny Walker and
Ulysses of Hasguard
In 2005 We purchased Merriville Prince Fergus 32inch
palomino to continue breeding beautiful foals.
2011 saw the arrival of Halstock Blazing George a delightful
28&1/2 inch sturdy Cream Dun Stallion with super
conformation
Shetland ponies are often thought of as tricky and stubborn.
However
when we
were looking for our foundation stock mares we were lucky in
finding a
lady
whose mother and grandmother before had bred Shetlands and used
them
for riding
and driving. Over the years they had selected to get sound
ponies with
wonderful
dispositions. Our mares are descended from these mares. This
gave us a flying start. We do not try to breed "
tiny,
tinies" but rather go for quality, soundness, good conformation,
and
straight action, combined with sweet temperament and
friendliness, that
are a
joy to own. We do not "go over the top on prices" but try to
price our
foals realistically.
Our stallions too have lovely sweet temperaments and they are
easy to handle.
Good choice of foals available, prices from £40 plus
