Constellation Shetlands
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. 
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 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

Re: Constellation Shetlands
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?horsegirl008~2 wrote:I'm currently working on breeding minis!

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
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
