This lovely stallion has a very kind temperament and is good with his mares. We currently have a very nice three year old filly by him, Brockville Merry Margo who did well in her first season in the show ring in 2007 winning many large classes. He produced us another good filly foal in 2008, Brockville Merry Mischief, a full sister to Margo. A further three year old daughter, Brockville Valetta has left us to join Mrs Rae's Samber Shetland Stud in Devon.

Oliver was the first Shetland Pony we bought and has proved a very good buy. He won many times in the show ring as a youngster and consistently sires top quality stock. Two of his home-bred sons, Brockville Venture and Brockville Vintage are now both licenced stallions. One of his daughters, the big bay mare Brockville Vermillion produced a lovely black colt by Stow Vulcan in 2007 which we have retained for a future stallion. His next batch of foals are due in 2009 and some will be for sale in the Autumn.

We currently have a very smart showy two year old colt by this stallion for sale on our For Sale page.

‘Flash’ was bought direct from the Clibberswick Stud on Shetland in 2000. He has a tremendous wealth of hair and bone which he passes on to his youngstock. His daughter, Brockville Ella ( see youngstock page ), won yearling classes at both the South West & Wessex Shetland Pony Group Open Shows and was second in the yearling filly class at the SPS-BS Breed Show held in Devon in 2004. As a 2 year old she was second in a big two and three year old filly class at the SPS-BS Breed Show held this time at the other end of the country near Aberdeen.

Flash is now on lease to the Samber Stud in Devon. His next crop of foals are due in 2008 and some will be for sale at weaning. Further details can be obtained in due course via our email address.

Venture was our first home bred licenced stallion by Oliver. His full brother, Brockville Vintage was licenced in 2005, see below for further details.

In 2005, Venture was Supreme Champion at the South West Shetland Pony Goup Open Show, Standard Champion at the Wessex Shetland Pony Group Open Show and Reserve Coloured Champion at the SPS-BS Show in Aberdeen. He was also Shetland Champion and Reserve Overall Light Horse Champion at Kingsbridge Agricultural Show.

His success in the show ring has continued in 2007 when he was Standard Shetland Champion at the Devon County Show, Shetland Champion and Reserve Supreme Mountain & Moorland Champion at Honiton Agricultural Show and Reserve Supreme Shetland Champion at the South West Pony Association Show.

Due to our move northwards, Venture has not been shown in 2008, he has been busy with stud duties at home.

His two crops of foals to date are showing much promise for the future.

Newly licensed, this beautifully marked piebald stallion, a three quarter brother to HRE Bigton has been with us since we purchased him as a foal in 2001 from Helen Thomson on Shetland. Slow to mature as all ponies are from this line, Fetlar was used for the first time in 2007 when he was loaned to the Samber Stud owned by Mrs Beryl Rae. He has produced some good foals for Mrs Rae.

2008 has been a year of change for Fetlar in more ways than one. He has returned to his native Shetland where he has been covering mares for his breeder Helen Thomson who now has him for the next two seasons.

In August, he was entered for the Shetland Stallion Evaluation Scheme where he attained a Gold Award and was Champion Stallion with the highest percentage score to date under this scheme. The photograph above was kindly taken by June Brown of the Shoormal Stud and shows him on that day.

Vintage is a full brother to Brockville Venture and has spent two years up in Scotland on lease to Mr James Swan's Stow Shetland Pony Stud. His first crop of foals were very good and the Stow Stud retained one filly who has been shown successfully in 2009. A yearling colt by Vintage, Stow Viking has recently been purchased by Mr & Mrs Robert Griffiths from Wales for their Ladbury Stud where he is being brought on for a future stallion for them.

Vintage has been on lease to Mr & Mrs Rendall's Hollydell Stud in Shetland in 2008 and has covered several mares for them.

He is now back with us in Aberdeenshire and we look forward to using him on our own mares in 2009.
