Welcome to

 

 

 

Unfortunately, we lost one of our colts, Furunäs Design, due to an injury.

Now we only have one colt left: Furunäs Domino. We are so happy that he can join some other colts this summer but he is still looking for a new home.

We have updated Fillies & Colts as well as In Memoriam.

 

 

60 years!

 

1966 - 2026

This year it's 60 years ago since the first Shetland pony with the Furunäs prefix was born at the stud.

1965 - 2025

Last year it was 60 years ago since the first Shetland pony was born at Furunäs stud.

In 1964, my parents imported our founding mare Harviestoun Priscilla from England and she had been covered by the stallion Royal Sovereign that summer. The year after, she gave birth to our first foal and I, at the age of 3.5 years, had the honour of deciding the name for the filly. The choice was obvious: Pippilotta!

In 1966, Priscilla had the colt Furunäs Pericles (by Lilleman RS 11) and the following year the colt Furunäs Pinocchio (also by Lilleman RS 11) was born, and later on he became our first licensed stallion.

Since then, almost 300 Shetland ponies have been born at Furunäs resulting in the following:

10 licensed stallions
37 Diploma mares
32 Elite, of which 29 mares and 3 stallions
27 Swedish Show Champions (SUCH), of which 23 mares and 4 stallions
5 Super-SUCH, of which 3 mares and 2 stallions

2 Super-Elite mares

 

It's with a lot of pride we look back at the years gone by and with much humbleness we look forward to continuing to nurish and maintain these fantastic blood lines.
