Who doesn't love a sassy little pony? We here at Trumpet Farm certainly do. Welcome to our Shetland Pony herd. We have different types, and every one of them is bred for specific type conformation and a fun attitude. They may be used in American Sport Pony and American Gaited Pony breeding if you're looking for something a bit smaller or more refined. Crosses between the different types of Shetlands are also allowed. As a quick note: I grew up riding Shetlands, and we've had a few since we've had kids. I mention the typical pony attitude here with much love and respect. It's awful hard to beat a Shetland for entertainment and attitude!

Irish Mint (Glenshaw’s Golden King x Roadrunner Kitty Cody). 2005 palomino Modern/Classic Shetland Pony stallion. Mint is the quintessential snotty little pony!

Jett's Revolution (AE Revolution *R x PC Jetts Sassafrass *R). 2009 bay tobiano American Shetland Pony stallion. Revolution is a great pony - he has plenty of attitude, but a sweet nature to off-set it. His sire is homozygous for tobiano, so Revolution will also always throw tobiano.

Trumpet's Snow Cat (Snow Joke x McCall’s Blue Cat). 2009 dapple grey tobiano Classic Shetland Pony stallion. Snow is a terrific little stallion. He is easy to handle and loves to go riding, and even though he's snotty sometimes, he manages to pull it off without being annoying (no easy feat for a Shetland).
