Our herd of Pedigree Registered Shetland Ponies, consists of around 30 mares all being home bred from our senior herd sires - the 34 inch palomino Earlsdon Georgian Silver; and Tyros Little Nipper the 32 and half inch stallion (out of a palomino) and half - brother to the Cream stallion, Tyros
Storm of Lambridge. Nipper is now sold. The mares are Cream, Palomino, and Chestnut. Some of our foals have been exported to Holland and U.S.A. We have 2 coloured mares.

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 disposition. 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 2003 and 2004 foals were by:-
Halstock Johnny Walker, a 32 inch miniature licensed registered Shetland chestnut stallion (sire palomino) and
Ulysses of Hasguard a black 32inch miniature Shetland stallion (sire coloured), Ulysses has outstanding conformation and quality.

In 2005 some pedigree Shetland mares had foals by:-
Chamness Mozart, a black leopard spot, and Forgefield Blondin, a few spot. (see Small Spots page) we have kept six spotted mares from this.

2005 onwards most of our pedigree Shetland mares have run with Merriville Prince Fergus,32ins & a few with Earlsdon Georgian Silver, both stallions are palomino. Producing foals 2006 onwards.
Fergus's foals are real beauties, much admired, we have a few yearlings and this years foals for sale
