About Olney Shetland Ponies

In 1920, Olney Farm started a pony breeding business. Over the years, our Shetland Ponies have been selectively bred for for their hardiness and unflappable temperament....resulting in a wonderful child's first pony.

The Shetland Pony Society of North America has just become organized in order to encourage and promote the breeding and registering of the original Shetland pony type from the British Isles -- Olney ponies are a great example of that!

Olney Butterfly

It's not unusual for a Shetland Pony to live more than thirty years. Olney Butterfly, Olney Gepeto X Medical Hall Collette, (above) is doing very well at 19 years old, and certainly doesn't look her age. She lives on a ranch in Genola, Utah with J.T.'s Touch of Silver, T.J.'s High Steppin X Olney Pansy, who is 17.

Young ponies are still available, such as Olney Okay (pictured above winning the Shetland Pony Trot Race), chestnut roan mare, foaled 2000. She could do the small pony division in the show ring, and is a gorgeous jumper. Broken and ridden by a 6-year old. Registered with the SPSNA and eligible for all SPSNA Shetland shows.
