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.

Bought as a foal directly from the Kerswell Stud, Sprite was later licensed, and leased out for a few years while we used other stallions. Since returning to Tawna he has consistently produced superb quality foals. They are typically sweet natured, neatly put-together, correct, small and have beautiful heads set on particularly good fronts. Check out our ‘foals’ pages to see his offspring, many of which are having successful show careers.

To date, Sprite has produced 33 progeny. In 2019 he has had five foals, all fillies, but unfortunately one was still born. He has covered five mares for 2020 foals.

Sprite is good to catch, lead, load, foot trim etc. He is quiet and respectful of his mares, and gentle with his foals. He respects electric fencing, and usually runs with the other stallions in the winter, but doesn’t mind his own company. He is fertile and in good health.

It has not been an easy decision to offer him for sale - he has been a highly regarded and reliable asset in our stud for a long time, but with an abundance of other stallions here, it seems like a good time for another stud to benefit from him, and his much-coveted bloodlines.
