Shetland pony Toby's retirement party, Shetland Pony Club, Cobham, UK

It was Shetland pony Toby’s retirement party this week at the Ranch. Toby is 30 years old and has been enjoying taking young children riding at Shetland Pony Club for 10 years.

How did Toby get ready for his party?

Toby wanted to look good for his party. Find out how the children helped him get ready. See what happened at his party. Was Toby’s party a bit like a party that children might have? Did he enjoy his party?

What is Toby going to do now he is retired?

Toby will still live at the Ranch with all the other Shetland ponies. He will enjoy their company and be available for brushing, but he won’t be available for riding any more. Toby will have a well-earned rest. Well done Toby!
