We are based in West Yorkshire and we breed registered miniature shetlands. The stud was established following Andrea’s passion which began at Whitakers Riding Stables, home of the showjumping dynasty. Becoming Michael Whitaker’s first groom, she learnt a lot from Enid Whitaker and family and has fond memories of her time there. The first shetland pony encounter was Hercules (shown right with Andrea bringing up the rear). To find out more visit our About Page.
