SUITABILITY: We are more than happy to guide and advise anyone who wishes to buy our ponies. It is very important to us that our animals are well suited to their new homes, have equine company, and are cared for properly.
FOALS: Foals can be booked with a non-returnable deposit, and will be available after weaning in the autumn. Before they go to new homes, all our foals will be happily eating hard food before being weaned, halter-broken / well handled, wormed and foot trimmed, and will be familiar with loading in the lorry. They will of course be registered with the Shetland Pony Stud-Book Society, micro-chipped and passported.
COLT FOALS: We recommend that unless a colt foal is intended for breeding purposes, he is castrated here before weaning. At this age, they are caused the least stress, and once gelded they will have a more settled and far better quality of life. Our vets' charges are very reasonable and we can arrange to have this done, at cost, for the purchaser.
DISTANCE BUYING: Due to our location in the far south west of the UK, buyers are not often able to travel to view our ponies. However we can provide a DVD of any particular pony if required - giving a good indication of conformation, movement…and even personality.
TRANSPORT: We are able to recommend a number of tried and trusted professional equine transporters if required, and for delivery abroad they will take care of all the required paperwork. Wherever possible we will try to co-ordinate travel arrangements of our ponies for different purchasers to save on transport costs.

Kerswell Nutcracker
Stallion 11/04/2001
Sire: Vorden Picea
Dam: Nutmeg of Glebefarm
Colour: Dun and white skewbald
SOLD Licensed stallion AM1691/S03-060. Height: 32.5”
We have used this super stallion since 2005 and he has produced over 50 foals for us. His quality offspring have proved themselves many times in the show ring with wins and championships. On the home page of this website, the photo with five ponies at a show are all Nutty’s offspring - three of them being youngsters. His progeny have wonderful top-lines with nicely set heads, large, kind eyes and a lot of presence. We have retained several of his daughters, and a lovely colt/potential stallion (see Young page).
Now we find that we do not have enough unrelated mares to warrant keeping Nutty - he deserves to be put to greater use - so we are very regretfully offering him for sale. He is sound, healthy, fertile and easy to catch and handle. He runs with his mares and foals in the summer and the other stallions in the winter.

Tawna Lily Longsocks
Filly born: 20/04/2017
Sire: Kerswell Sprite
Dam: Tawna Daisy May
Colour: Minimal tobiano - black with white markings
SOLD Lily is a little treasure - very sweet in looks and nature. Her mother, Daisy May (sire: Tawna Rubus) is a lovely strong skewbald mare - successful when shown as a youngster, and now a much valued brood mare in our stud.
Lily’s two year old full sister is proving herself in the show ring - consistently in the ribbons, and we believe Lily can follow in her footsteps. She is a smart filly with a neat little head and an excellent neck, shoulder and top-line. She tracks up well and those long socks are quite eye-catching. She already has a good length of mane which falls neatly on the right side. We would expect her to mature about 30”-31”.
Lily has minimal markings - just the one small patch of white on her rump. Now her true black colouring is showing through her baby coat, we’re getting a good idea of how attractive she will be. Like Agatha, she is friendly, bold and loves human attention. Her mother is a docile, easy-going mare, and that temperament is reflected in Lily. Photos taken July 2017.
Tawna Agatha
Filly born: 15/04/2017
Sire: Kerswell Sprite
Dam: Tawna Agnes
Colour: Bay Roan
SOLD Agatha is a stunning foal with plenty of that look-at-me factor. She is very well developed, strong, compact and with an exquisite head and eye. Her mother, Agnes (sire: Kerswell Russet), is a beautiful mare who did consistently well at County and local level when shown as a youngster.
Agatha’s full brother, now three years old, is 31” and we would expect Agatha to mature about the same height. We have been waiting for her to cast her foal coat before taking the above photos. Her eventual bay roan colouring can now clearly be seen.
Agnes is a very kind, gentle mare, and this filly will be the same. She is friendly, confident and is usually the first to come and greet us in her herd. She has the quality, presence and looks to make her a promising showing prospect and we would prefer her to go to a showing/breeding home. Photos taken July 2017.
