Our Ponies

Highland ponies are a unique pony bred to live and work in the rugged Highland landscape. The Campbell family have been breeding ponies in Glenshiel for over 100 years and some of our ponies are direct descendants.

The Highland pony is well known for their kind nature and ability to take their riders across some very rough terrain.

They are ideal for pony trekking in the Highlands and kind to the environment too.
