We are looking to find a more suitable home for our miniture sheltland.

We got her about 2 years ago to be a companion pony to my husbands 16.3HH thoroughbred mare. My husband sadly lost his mare shortly after so since then, Tinks has had a few different jobs.

She isn’t the best companion, as she doesn’t like being alone! If she can see another pony she is totally fine, but she wouldn’t suit being on a sole use yard where she would be the only pony remaining if the rest go out. She just screams and runs around but it isn’t fair on her & isn’t what we would like for her.

In the time we have had her, she has done some therapy pony work with a lady we field shared with for a while. My youngest daughter has also ridden her (walk & trot only) on the lead rein on little hacks. She has also covered many miles accompanying us on hacks without a rider & doesn’t need to be lead, she will just follow.

She isn’t a kids pony by any means, once caught she will tolerate being brushed and has always been fine with my daughter pottering around on her, but I wouldn’t trust her 100% with little ones on the ground and she has never been officially broken as far as I am aware.

She is a typical mini Shetland with small pony syndrome! She is sassy, funny & very opinionated.

As far as I am aware, she has never had laminitis, but she does need careful managing and couldn’t be turned out on endless grass. She suits living out 24/7 and doesn’t enjoy being stabled.

She is up to date with farrier, teeth & worming. She is about 13 years old and has a passport/ microchip. She isn’t registered, she is on a generic passport. She wouldn’t be suitable for in hand showing as she has awful confirmation. She is never sick or sorry, lives off fresh air & you certainly won’t end up with big feed bills! She never gets rugged (although she does have 2 rugs and a fly rug) She probably wouldn’t suit living with another mini, when we tied her before she was vile. She probably needs a pony bigger than her to keep her in her place!

If you have read to the end and think you could offer her a loving home, please do contact me on 07740003135. She will come with her rugs (that probably will never be needed!) and head collar. She doesn’t have any tack, was always ridden in a head collar and my daughters inky dinky saddle that is now used on another pony.

I would love to find her a home that will love her! Full loan only, although if it all works out I would happily sign her over. All homes to be vetted & checks will be carried out periodically once in your care.
