Large Shetland Project
The Large Shetland Project
My goal is to breed large Shetlands. Specifically, Shetlands over 15hh by the time they're 4. Here I will be posting my progress. If any of you know of any large Belgians (Over 21hh), please contact me in this forum: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=32192

Re: Large Shetland Project
This is a great idea- I might start looking into breeding large shetlands as well, because I find most of them way to small 
Re: Large Shetland Project
What about using Welsh ponies with your Shetlands?
Re: Large Shetland Project
I will be trying to get large SP to! When I get some I'll let you know!
