Meet, groom, and trek alongside the iconic Shetland pony — the archipelago's most beloved native creature — at a premium Shetland stud farm, for a deeply personal, luxury countryside experience unique to these islands.
What to expect
You are welcomed onto a working Shetland stud farm where beautifully groomed native ponies roam freely across open moorland. Experienced handlers guide you through grooming, leading, and trekking — tailored to your group's comfort level. The landscape of rolling heather hills and dramatic coastal cliffs provides a spectacular backdrop. This is the authentic, living Shetland that few visitors ever access.
Good to know
Pre-book directly and confirm availability for your port day. The farm is located inland from Lerwick — arrange a private taxi or hire car for the transfer. Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes; waterproof outerwear is recommended. Ideal for small groups of 2–8 guests.
