To Lorene, no this mare isn't a Hackney pony, but has some Hackney heritage back in her bloodline. As for shoe weight, she was wearing a 12 oz. shoe with a leather pad on the front hooves. On her hind she was wearing a 8 oz. plate with no pads. This mare wasn't banded, shackled or chained, this was straight out of her stall. Wynonna is one of the most naturally talented Shetlands in the ring. It runs in the bloodline as many of her full blooded and half siblings have one many Congress grand championships in either halter or performance divisions. At the 2010 Congress alone, 2 of her siblings one the grand halter or stakes championships.
To Carin and John, I'm pretty sure I could help you find a pony that could be as beautiful as Wy. I know Amy, that is a hard pony to find. But with what's coming next year, that might not be that hard.
