Today’s, Modern Shetland Ponies combine the beauty and hardiness of the more traditional Shetland with the excitement and animation of a Hackney pony. The result is simply elegance in motion. This sophisticated pony with its extreme action, superb carriage and spirited personality is truly at home in the show ring. Modern Shetland Ponies excel in performance classes including roadster, fine harness and pleasure driving.

Thrilling, animated Moderns offer something for anyone moved by society ponies.
