its a bit harsh to tar all breeders with the same brush just because you've seen some colts for sale! i have shetland 3 mares in foal,one due anyday! and i will sell the foals to good home at a reasonable price or not atall and they will stay.......the reason people can get a shetty colt for £50 is because someone sold it at that ..its a shame as if all of us who breed refused to sell at low price then those who actually want and can afford to own one would have to pay for one! and as said before then that may get the breeders who churn out hundreds a year to slow down and get good money for a few rather than 50 sold at £50!!....we can only hope!
