Welcome to Catchpool Shetland Pony Stud. We have been established for over 40 years and breed and sell quality, outstanding-natured, ponies that excel in the show ring. The Catchpool Stud is located in Llangennith, a small village on the Gower peninsula of South West Wales.

Catchpool Shetland Stud was started in 1960 with the purchase of the filly foal 'Teilo Fach'. In the ensuing years she produced many fillies including Madame Cholet of Catchpool (exported to Sweden) and her descendents are still with us today. Ickworth Vanquish was purchased as stud stallion and amongst others he sired the prolific show-winning gelding Victory of Catchpool and his well-known brother Vandal of Catchpool who was the smallest pony ever to qualify for Olympia in the Shetland Pony Grand National, which he did three times in all. Though small in stature Vandal was (and is) known for his character and behavioural exploits as much as his achievements. He managed to behave himself enough to attend Amsterdam International Show and though retired now he managed to win a veteran class last year.
Whizz is produced by the Catchpool Stud and can turn
his hoof to
anything from showing to racing to driving to ponyclub games!
