For Loan Only - Fini, black Shetland mare, Shetland Society registered & passported, 9 years old and approx 34". Vaccinated, microchipped, wormed, trimmed, teeth done, etc. Excellent to catch, ties brilliantly, good to groom and handle all over, including feet. She has been introduced to light traffic. She has proved to be very bold and curious. She has also started to be lunged & long reined, is getting used to the noise of a tyre dragging behind her, and is about to be bitted & wear a harness.

Fini is a very people oriented pony, so she would like a person of her own that she can bond with. She has lived with smaller Shetland mares with no problems, but we think she would do well with larger ponies or horses, as she is a very confident mare.

Fini would excel in most ways she needs to go to a home where she will do something, rather than just be a field ornament, as she very much enjoys working and has a busy little brain. She is a very solid mare of a good size, so would be a great driven pony. She would also be good for agility as she has proven very brave. Or if you just wanted to go for walks, she would also enjoy that. She has lots of bone, good conformation & paces. She has shown only once at county level as a youngster, and placed highly, so could do very well showing.
While she could be handled by children under supervision, we would like to find her a position for life, so do not want her returned due to being outgrown by a child or a child having lost interest. She is generally very well behaved and good to do, but does have quite a big personality, so would not be suitable for the nervous or novice.

Fini has unfortunately had mild laminitis once, so does need managing suitably weight management, minimal grass and regular exercise, soaked hay, possibly muzzle, etc. She would be ideal to live with another pony who has previously had laminitis, and would be best in a laminitis experienced home. Due to her Shetland tendencies, she does need robust fencing that she cannot step through or over. Full information available to interested viewers. Fini will be loaned out with a full contract, a home visit, and we may ask for references.
