Here at Sunridge we now stud out our stallion Witcombe Hanibal to a few select mares each spring time. Every mare will need to be registered with the Shetland Pony Society while being 34'' and under plus being up to date with all the current vaccinations. Fillies and mares will need to be the minimum age of 4 years old on the 1st of January of the year they meet the stallion. My own ponies at the yard are fully covered for jabs as they frequently leave site for shows. To avoid the equine flu all mares will need a clearance of seven days of there last jab prior to leaving for stud. Covering can either be natural or in hand. Natural will require the mare to be with us for nine weeks, starting the 1st of February. We have a NFFR policy we both processes of covering. The ponies should have had there hooves checked at home as well as the usual regular worming, any maintenance that occurs to your pony at Sunridge will be at cost to yourself as well as any emergency vet fees. Feel free to check out our local veterinary team Rosevean Vets on there website. I am covered by my own public liability insurance for any damage that may occur, most competitors already have this with membership to some societies, I would suggest this would be something to look into before leaving your yard.
Witcombe Hanibal has already proven his role as a stallion producing some lovely ponies, due to the pandemic in 2020 he didn't cover any mares for the next season. However if you would like to take a scroll through our website you can see the progeny he has already on the ground. So far his breed quality's have been passed on, such as his pretty head, masses of bone and hair, straight movement and fabulous temperament. His own personal profile on the website shows you the tremendous breeding that he has behind him and the prolific show winners of the past. The breeding is full of the popular Kerswell and Eiger shetland ponies which to this day are the for front of the breed. There are a variety of photos of Hanibal through his career so far to browse and get a feel of the pony himself.
