A little bit about me

My name is Anna, I am 28 years old, and I am studying veterinary medicine. I have been fascinated with the shetland pony breed since I got a job with Kate and Leif Grambo at Stutteri Bakkegaard, in december 2004. I have continued spending time at Stutteri Bakkegaarden, even after I got into my dream education. Now I help administer the stud's webpage. It is allways great visiting Bakkegaarden, and lovely to have fun with all the amazing ponies.
I am especially interested in genetics and breeding, colour breeding in particular.
I live in Køge, with my boyfriend of almost 11 years, Steffen and our beautiful little daughter Papaya.

About The Stud

The stud was founded in 2009 when I bought my lovely Zilver Sun from Janny at Stutteri Stjernen. Zilver Sun has the very rare and special colour, mushroom, and hopefully will become my foundation mare in breeding mini shatlandponies with this colour.
Soon thereafter I bough Bella. A wonderful little palomino filly, from Kate at Stutteri Bakkegaard. She is after the mini champion mare, Stjernen's Mini-Blondie, so it will be very exciting to see how she will develop.
In the fall of 2009 I bought Regina and Cyselle from Liebas Stud in Holland. Regina is a beautiful crem dun mare that will hopefully allow me to breed some beautiful foals in different dun colours (Blue dun, golden dun and cream dun)
Cyselle's colour is very interesting, as she looks to be mushroom dun. This means she is able to produce both mushroom and dun foals.
In 2010 the first foals where born.
My future goal with the stud is to breed small, beautiful mini shetland ponies with great type, legs and movements, and in many interesting colours..
I am especially interested in breeding with the three dilution genes: Dun, Cream and Mushroom, mixed with pied genes.

Until Steffen and I get our own place next year, my ponyes are living with Lena at Stutteri Aspera.
