Based in the Staffordshire Moorlands, we are a small stud founded by myself and my parents back in 1980.
The stud takes it's name from the first pony our family owned
'Pioneer Boy'
'Boy' was the beginning of our love affair with horses, Showing, Show Jumping, Cross Country Events, Dressage & Driving, he did it all and so did we and as time went by our horse family grew and grew.
The Pioneer Stud believes in allowing their horses and youngstock to mature slowly, developing strong bones and natural muscle tone on the undulating hills of the Staffordshire Moorlands .
Older Youngstock may have been lightly shown and we continue to do well in the show ring, however our focus will always be on the socialisation and training of our horses to make their eventual transition to riding / competition horse easier, for us being well placed and winning rosettes in the show ring are an added bonus and not a necessity.

Responsible Breeding Programme
At the Pioneer Stud our aim is to produce dilute horses and ponies that are not only of show quality but who also have a purpose, therefore emphasis is placed upon temperament, conformation, type and ability.
We endeavor to operate a responsible breeding programme by
producing a maximum of 2/3 foals per year from sires and dams with proven working/show/competitive records and traceable quality pedigrees.
We Support British Breeding
Our resident stallion Pioneerstud Silver Sheikh is a true cremello bred from Champion Palomino bloodlines, he is producing stock that are excelling in all spheres.
Pioneerstud Silver Sheikh is available at public stud via AI Fresh/Chilled.
