The American Shetland
Modern Pleasure Pony

Modern Pleasure ponies are more extreme
especially in movement (but also body type) then a
classic pony. But they are not extreme enough to
show Modern.

From the rule book: The Modern Pleasure pony
generally has less animation then that of a Roadster
or Harness pony and must display and absolutely
agreeable disposition. White its gait must be
collected and balanced, it need not have the
brilliance or the high action of the Roadster or
Harness Pony. Entries can show barefoot or shod.

If you go to a show and there are no Modern
Pleasure classes offered you can enter into Modern

Modern Shetland may NOT cross enter in the
following at any show

1 Classic classes
2 into any other modern performance
3 between formal and country pleasure
4 into open halter if pleasure classes are offered
