Several trips were taken to the Shetland Isles to increase stock and a colt foal ‘Orion of Brindister’ was purchased who later became one of our most successful stud stallions. At the same time ‘Orgyll of Mousa’ – the last foal to be born on the Island of Mousa – came to us. No ponies remain on Mousa and Orgyll returned to the Shetland Isles to ensure the blood-lines were kept on the islands though not before he had left us ‘Adonis of Catchpool’, a grey pony with a black blaze. Orgyll’s progeny were of many colours but without fail they would all have blonde tufts in their ears. No need for DNA with him!
The Catchpool Shetlands are spread worldwide now with many show-winners in Holland, Sweden, France, Switzerland, Poland (many of today’s ponies in Poland go back to Francis George of Catchpool), United States and Australia. This year one of our stallions ‘Merlin of Catchpool’ was exported to France.
