Croftcnoc STUD Highland Ponies and Performance Horses. Croftcnoc Highland Ponies and Performance Horses
Croftcnoc Stud has been breeding Highland ponies since the late 1980s.

The Highland Pony is one of the three native pony breeds of the Scottish Highlands and Isles. It is also one of the largest and most versatile off all the Mountain and Moorland pony breeds, native to the British Isles. The Highland Pony is also a powerful, well built animal with short, broad heads, cresty necks and compact muscular bodies coupled with a kindly nature and even temperament. Highland

ponies were used as all purpose utility animals by the Highland farmers and crofters. Highland ponies display sure-footedness, willingness to work, docile nature, placid temperament and immense stamina making them ideal for work over rough, often inhospitable terrain. They are also traditionally associated with deer-stalking being used to carry the carcass back. They have been found to be mounts for trekking and trail riding. Highland Ponies also make excellent family ponies and all rounders, many being natural jumpers and are very easily broken to harness. Highlands are also known as ponies suitable for RDA, their talents are so varied that people are using them in all sorts of equine disciplines. Over the years of competing and judging, we have seen the need for horses larger than the highlands maximum height of 14.2hh, but with the same soundness and temperament qualities. Each season we breed some Warmblood and Highland cross breeds as well as pure breeds, to meet the ever growing market. Highlands display many talents in activities including Pony Club, Adult Riding Club, Working Hunters, Dressage, Driving, long distance riding, Riding for the Disabled and Western Riding. The ponies have been extremely successful in the show ring in their breed classes, Mountain and Moorland hunters, saddle classes and adult riders who prefer the easy going and relatively low maintenance of the Highland, known for their hardiness, the ponies live out all year and tolerate many adverse weather conditions other breeds wont. These ponies are part of the family and many new owners never sell their new friends on again. Their placid temperament and fantastic nature make them a friend for life.
