SHETLAND PONIES







These are the cutest of the Shetland ponies. I didn't see these specific ones wearing the Shetland sweater however.

They have a heavier mane and tail and coat to withstand the harsh winters in the Shetlands.


Where else would the Shetland ponies come from EXCEPT from the Shetland islands.? They are gentle horses and very intelligent.

This one especially wanted a carrot and unfortunately we had none.

They come in all colors. They can live up to 30 years and typically are 7-11 hands tall. That is 28-44" tall.

They pull carts, carry peat and also worked in the coal mines because of their size. They are he strongest of all the horses and ponies and can carry 130 pounds.
