Our stud was established in 1997 in Rolleston. Our first foal Duncree Ali May was born in 1999. May had a very successful show career winning the New Zealand Shetland Pony Breeders Society Inc Shetland Pony of the Year in 2003.
In 2012 we relocated to a larger property at Charing Cross near Darfield.
