Black Shetland mare, Shetland Society registered & passported, 9 years old, approx 34". Vaccinated, microchipped, wormed, trimmed, teeth done, etc. Excellent to catch, tie, groom and feet. She has been introduced to traffic and proven excellent so far. She has also begun lungeing & long reining, is getting used to the noise of a tyre dragging behind her, and has been bitted & worn a harness with a view to driving in the carriage shortly.

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 very confident.

Fini 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 will be a great driven pony. She would also be good for agility as she has proven very brave. 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 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.
