 VVE is their Voluntary Vetting Examination, basically their stallion test.  Yes I tamed Dinky for her before she went to the sales, then we baught her as I got a bit too attached she is the sweetest little girl now.

Forgot to mention this fella was one of our first two ponies,

Ahh I read it as W E . Sarah has a donkey called Dinky that lives with her Aunty Pam and her donkeys. So are you now officially a stud now you have a VEE stallion?

V V E,  We already had a stallion, this little one went through his stallion test before we sell him,  we haven't registered a preffix yet but we will as we have our first shetland foals from our black stallion due next year.

Thank you, we are very very proud of him, and he already has a possible girl friend, a neighbour really wants to run on of his fillies with him.
