The Original Miniature Pony Centre

Stud Information

The Stud was originally founded in 1970 By Mr and Mrs Dennis (Kerswell) who are still Shetland breeders today. Since then the stud has been home to Mr Hutchings (Keensacre), and since 2003 Mrs Ginsberg.
Mrs Ginsberg has been working hard to reinstate the good reputation of the stud and fortunately many of the existing blood lines still remain.
All of the donkeys and ponies bred at the centre have a huge amount of contact with people, making them very friendly and confident.

Stallions At Stud

The Stud is situated within the heart of scenic Dartmoor and covers 80 acres. We have 3 miniature Shetland stallions registered with the SPSBS. All of the stallions provide something different so they cater for many requirements. We also have 3 Mediterranean Miniature Donkey Jacks, registered with the MMDA.

We will also have a selection of new foals in May 2008 with prices ranging from £250 to £500 plus Vat for Miniature Shetlands, and £1500 to £3000 plus vat for Mediterranean miniature donkeys.
2008 foals can be reserved right away but cannot be collected until the 1st November.

The reservation process will involve the confirmation by the Stud Manager that you are suitable to own a pony and can offer everything that it will require. After that confirmation, you will be asked to pay a non-refundable deposit. At this point the foal is effectively sold to you, with the remaining balance to pay on collection (please note we cannot provide transportation).

If you wish to have a pony castrated or halter broken there are extra charges, this also means the foals cannot be homed until a later date.

viewing by appointment only.

Castrations £120 +VAT 17.5%

Halter Breaking £70 + VAT 17.5%

These extra charges are correct at the time of printing but may be updated at any time.
