Situated near Dunedin beneath the picturesque Wetherston Hill, Wetherston Shetland Stud breeds standard Shetland ponies for riding and showing.

A Shetland pony is a very small horse, the smallest pure breed in the world, and is native to the Shetland Islands of Scotland.

Because of its gentle nature and small stature, the Shetland pony is one of the most famous breeds of horse, and a popular choice as a first pony for children learning to ride or drive.

All Wetherston Shetland Stud Shetland ponies are good tempered and used to children.
