Our new Shetland pony Trooper has arrived at Shetland Pony Club after isolation. Find out how he gets on meeting his new friends.

New Shetland pony Trooper arrives at Shetland Pony Club

When a new pony comes to Shetland Pony Club he has to isolate for a while to make sure that he is fit and healthy.  He also needs to have his flu and tetanus vaccinations, just like us.

Time to meet new friends

Once he is ready, Trooper comes to meet the other ponies at Shetland Pony Club.  At first, he just says hello across the fence, and gets to know Fudge and the standard Shetland ponies. He also spends some time in the Ranch, getting to know his new surroundings.

Do Trooper and Balmoral know each other?

Balmoral seems to be taking a special interest in saying hello to Trooper.  Both ponies came from the same stud on the Shetland Islands, so we wonder if they have met before? Trooper spends the night in the field next door, but it’s rather stormy. He seems fine – perhaps he is used to stormy weather.

Who will be Trooper’s friend?

The mini Shetland ponies also say hello to Trooper. Who will be his best friend?  Will it be Batman, or Robin Hood?
