Wilkinson Pony Farm

Wilkinson Pony Farm is home to Moderns, Classics and ASPR ponies in Chapman, NE, serving Central Nebraska near Grand Island. The farm has been breeding registered Shetland ponies for many years, maintains American Shetland Pony Registry enrollment and conducts routine health exams.

Facilities include spacious stalls with soft bedding and a covered arena that supports safe, year-round handling and basic training. Their herd thrives on rotating pastures with daily turnout and structured handling from weaning, ensuring each pony benefits from social play and human interaction in a family farm setting. Owner Lorri’s approach to training relies on patient guidance and positive reinforcement, reflecting a philosophy that steady progress builds trust.

The farm’s careful lineage tracking and emphasis on soundness have earned praise from many owners who value well-mannered foals suited to youth riding or driving. Several of the farm’s foals have competed in local shows and some have gone on to therapy programs through community partnerships.
