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 Patrick
Colt foal 17/03/2018
Sire: Kerswell Sprite
Dam: Tawna Tia Maria
Colour: Dark Bay
FOR SALE NB Shared transport probably available Cornwall to North of England in mid January
We are extremely pleased with the quality of this - Tia’s first foal. Patrick is a beautifully proportioned little colt, and he holds himself well. He should mature at no more than 31”. He has an exquisite head, and an exceptionally good shoulder and length of neck for a mini. He has fabulous straight free movement with a good stride. He undoubtedly has show and stallion potential.
Tia has a good showing record, and this year has already won 4 x 1st & 2 x Championships from four outings, and Patrick has won two Best Foal Rosettes (only two of the four shows catered for foals). The preparation, travelling and showing experience has been a great education for him. Patrick loaded, lead on the halter, and coped with the hustle-bustle in a calm and interested manner.
Update 16th Sept: having now been weaned and settled, we took Patrick to a Shetland show where he was second in a youngstock class of at least seven ponies (up to 3 years), and won overall reserve reserve champion. He behaved impeccably. Photos taken October 2018
