Dear Shetland pony breeder,
In the beginning of this year a group of enthusiastic, well-known, Shetland pony studs has come up with the idea to organize an annual auction for Shetland ponies.
What is so the goal of this auction ? Goal: promotion of the “Dutch bred Shetland pony”
What makes this auction interesting for all the Shetland pony breeders in Europe ? This is a great opportunity for all Shetland breeders to obtain high quality well- bred Shetland pony from well known bloodlines.
All the famous Dutch studs will enter ponies in this auction .
All the ponies at the auction will be selected by a selection commission on quality and bloodlines ( all the ponies need to have a premium !)
All the ponies will be checked by a veterinarian on knees , mouth etc.
We do not want to organize an auction that is some kind of “waste bin” for ‘low quality’ animals , what we want is to sell is high quality, selected, and healthy Shetland ponies !
F.i. if a mare is in foal, we demand a written proof by a vet no later than one month before the auction that states that the mare is “in foal”!
As you can reed from the above we try to do everything to ensure that the buyer gets what is promised!
The goal is to sell min.a 100 Shetland ponies in different sizes and colors and age .
We expect visitors from France, Germany, Belgium, Sweden , Norway ,Austria and Switzerland and we would also like to meet Shetland pony fans from Denmark !!
The location is in the south of Holland near a highway and easy accessible and hotels nearby . It will be possible to leave your pony at the place of the auction ( charged per day) to arrange transportation .
Plse look frequently on our website for additional information : www.shetlandponyselectsale.nl
As you can read on the attachment date is 23th of October , I hope to meet you than .
