Welcome to Hillash miniature ponies.

Our ponies are kept alongside a beef suckler herd, which is where a calf is left on its mum for about nine months and then sold. Having bred New Forest ponies for several years we decided to downsize and miniature Shetlands were the obvious choice. We strive to breed true to type foals of good confirmation with particular attention to temperament, as a great number of miniature shetlands become a child's first contact with ponies. They also make wonderful companions and are obviously a lot cheaper and easier to manage than a big horse. We sell a lot of foals to showing homes and several have been exported abroad to Ireland and Europe.

We have a wide range of colours, with a preference for duns and roans. We particularly like the New Park bloodlines as they are solid well-boned types. Our foundation stallion New Park McDuff sadly died in 2005, but we have retained some of his fillies. Our stallions are very quiet and easy to handle and this lovely laid back attitude is being passed on to our foals.

Southsands honeypot, nicknamed teddy, although lighter in stature than mcduff, is producing some very pretty foals with a lovely head and gorgeous big eyes. He works really well with the chunky mares.

Wotknotts Squirrel Nutkin has given us some lovely well boned foals with a good mixture of colours and great laid back temperaments.

Athelney pale magic has joined the stud to help teddy out as he is now in his twenties. He is cream and White with a flash of blue in his eyes and has sired our first cremello and a very unusual chestnut roan and White with lovely dark blue eyes.

Udaller of Breabister is also sharing the load, he is a very small but chunky bay and White stallion carrying some of the best old Scottish bloodlines.
