Constellation Shetlands

Until registries are in place the Breeding Communities forum will be for players to work together towards creating or improving their favourite breeds.
Forum rules
Each breed may have only one topic. The first post in the topic is to be informative. It should help explain the breed, and breeding goals; advice on how to select mares and stallions; and links to ideal Stallions available for breeding.
Keeping a directory of breeders working on the same goal is also helpful.
All new threads must be approved.

Constellation Shetlands

Post by Enchanted Equine »

Hello everyone! I have recently found myself getting into breeding shetlands and have a small project going with them at the moment. I’m calling it Constellation Shetlands, as all their names have something to do with night/stars/etc. :lol: Anyways, I am basically just trying to breed them to no reds, 5*, and less clunky/awkward looking. It’s going pretty well so far! I was just curious to see if anyone else is working towards anything similar and/or might be willing to donate a couple ponies to my endeavor, as they’re currently a bit hard to come by. Thanks for reading <3

I'm currently working on breeding minis! Here's my project pasture: https://www.horseworldonline.net/farm/pasture/188906
I have a Shetland Pony mare if you want her for free! I know she doesn't quite meet your standards, but thought I'd offer :)

Oh my gosh your herd is BEAUTIFUL! I love them!!! Also I appreciate the offer, but I don’t think the mare is quite what I’m looking for. How did you get your horses so small and less pony-like?

Yeah I didn't think she was quite what you wanted :lol:
Gabby_Woodlark gave me https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/3563372, and she's a tiny Arabian, so she doesn't have a pony-like build. I bred her to https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/2998356, who's a little more pony-like, and voila! - a not-so-pony-ish foal :lol: If you want, I can walk you through breeding lighter-type Shetlands, and you can start by breeding https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/3563372 to a Shetland stallion! I'll put her up for offers, and you can offer $1 on her. I can try to find some Shetland stallions for stud and recommend a couple to you :)

No problem! You can keep the mare unless I need her again, but I don't think I will :)

Just let me know and I’ll be more than happy to return her if needed! I’ll let you know how the foals turn out :)
