The Modern Shetland Pony is elegance in motion. This pony combines the historic hardiness of the Classic Shetland Pony with an outcross of an animated and superiorly refined breed. This cross-produced a long shapely neck and fine boned sophisticated pony with extreme action and a spirited personality that lends itself well to the show ring. Like all Shetlands, Moderns are not to exceed 46" and they come in any color.

The Modern Shetland Pony is shown in two height divisions, under 43" and 43" to 46". They are shown in breeding/halter classes and performance classes, which include roadster, harness and pleasure driving.

A well-trained Modern Shetland makes an agile, quick thinking mount for a child and can be used for everything from gymkhana ponies to hunter/jumpers. A good headset, superb carriage and high action most often define a great Modern Shetland performance pony. This is an elegant animal with all the pomp and sophistication of a carriage horse and the hardiness of a pony.

Modern Shetlands will thrill you with that high-stepping action, the fire of energy and style they bring to the show ring, the fun and fast thinking of an event horse or the elegance they bring to a carriage ride down the lane.
Let yourself be carried away by the beauty and majesty of The Modern American Shetland Pony.
