How to transport a pony from the Shetland Isles, Shetland Pony Club.

This week we find out how to transport a pony from the Shetland Isles, now that we have found the ideal pony for us, in the last 3 videos.

How to transport a pony from the Shetland Isles to Surrey

First, we need to arrange lots of paperwork to make sure that our new pony can travel safely to us. Once everything is arranged, we need to bring him to Surrey before the winter weather and rough seas set in. On a calm day, our new pony, Trooper, says goodbye to his friends and sets off on his ferry journey to Aberdeen. He is very calm as he has been on a ferry before, and he knows that he gets tasty hay bricks to eat on the journey.

Weekend break for a Shetland pony

Trooper takes the overnight ferry from Shetland, when the weather is calm and has a weekend break in Aberdeen. It’s good to split the journey into sections so that he has time to graze and rest on his trip.

After the weekend, Trooper comes to the south of England, and has another night’s rest before coming to Shetland Pony Club. Let’s see him arrive at Shetland Pony Club after his long trip.
