Osbaston Stud is a small concern, established for the privilege of owning these legendary, native breeds renowned for their hardiness and strength. I have a preference for strawberry roan and chestnut ponies and my intention is to breed and show ponies of the correct type, conformation, movement and temperament. With this in mind, I have carefully chosen my foundation stock.  All the ponies are registered with the Shetland Pony Stud Book Society and have excellent pedigrees, conformation and temperaments.

Visitors are welcome - it's always great to chat about ponies. Please telephone or email first to arrange a suitable time.

2011 welcomed the beautiful Osbaston Dancing Dandelion, known as Dandy, a pretty cream dun foal. 2010 was a wonderful year for the stud; Chester is a fine, substantial colt foal, very confident and extremely friendly.  Cristobel is heighly vocal, quite flighty and is best friends with Chester. The adorable Clara is an absolute stunner with superb flowing movement. Details of Cristobel and Clara can now be found under Youngstock as they are over a year old.
