Welcome to the Kingmaker Dales Pony Stud, situated in the rural village of Chigné in north-west France.
Since it's inception in 2002, the stud has sought to breed Dales Ponies of quality and beauty, with the versatility to perform in a wide range of equestrian disciplines.
At Kingmaker Dales our breeding motto is "Temperament, Type and Action."
With this aim in mind, we produce a small number of foals each year from our carefully selected stallions and mares. Our foals grow up naturally in a herd environment and are gently handled from birth. They leave for new homes after weaning knowing how to tie, walk and trot in-hand, load into a lorry or trailer, lift all four feet for the farrier, and stand quietly for grooming. We derive a lot of pleasure from breeding and raising youngsters, and we are are extremely proud of the reputation the Kingmaker Stud has acquired for producing well-mannered foals who are easy for their new owners to manage. Testimonials from satisfied buyers can be seen.
We have sold Kingmaker foals to the UK, USA, France, Belgium, Germany & Switzerland, and enjoy on-going contact with our buyers as we love to follow our youngstocks' progress.
All Kingmaker breeding stock are certified non-carriers of the gene which causes Foal Immunodeficiency Syndrome (FIS). Buyers of a Kingmaker foal thus have a 100% guarantee that they can breed from their pony with absolutely no risk of ever producing a syndrome foal.

What our buyers say :Fission is a beautiful foal - a real credit to all the hard work the Kingmaker Stud puts into their foals. I took him to his first show yesterday. He behaved impeccably and was Youngstock Champion. To say I love him to bits is an understatement ! " - Catherine, UK
"Lancelot is so easy, and willing to learn. It is such a great pleasure to work with him. We have just started our journey, but I would like to say a big THANK YOU for such a great pony ! " - Magi, Switzerland "Destiny is amazing and so calm about everything. I just knew she was the right pony, even from all those miles away. I can honestly say, we have never bought a pony that has been so well-handled in her breed home before." - Penny, UK |
