Elisabeth Mead Editor

Elisabeth Mead has owned, bred and exhibited Shetland ponies throughout most of her life. She has always had a keen interest in their origins and history. As a great admirer of the Ladies Hope, she based her original ponies on those bred by them at South Park. The Kellas Stud of Shetlands has been run alongside the livestock farm that has been Elisabeth's home and occupation for many years. Now retired, Elisabeth keeps a flock of coloured Shetland sheep with the remaining group of elderly Shetland ponies.
