Our Ethos |
||
|
|
|
 |
||||
Our horses and ponies are very important to us. Their happiness is paramount and we believe in giving them a natural environment to live in. With extensive grazing in Walls and Sandness, the horses and ponies live together outside in large sociable herds. Good manners are mandatory, no matter who or where they are. We trust our horses and ponies to behave themselves and believe that they will learn through watching others. |

Location We are based at a traditional croft in Mid Walls, on the beautiful Westside of Shetland about 22 miles west of Lerwick. Our ponies are individually chosen for their breeding, temperament and character. We believe in giving our horses and ponies the most natural of environments where they can flourish and grow. The Shetland landscape offers diverse surroundings and extreme weather, producing a hardy and well-balanced equine. We have access to over 200 acres of both hill and pasture, an indoor school, outside menage, quiet roads with hill tracks and stabling. |

Directions Go straight through Walls, up the hill, over four cattle grids (3 miles approximately). Turn right after the 4th cattle grid, following the signpost down a sandy track to a cream-coloured croft house and an enormous green shed. You are very welcome to visit us, but it is advisable to telephone (01595 809 799) first. |
