Transporting a Shetland Pony from the Shetland Isles
This week, our Pony Share Members ride to the sand school for a Shetland Pony Riding Lesson. With their dedicated helpers, they learn to trot, canter, and change the rein. Each week, children at Shetland Pony Club enhance their riding and pony care skills, creating strong bonds with their ponies and embracing the benefits of being outside nature. It’s a fantastic way to develop new skills and responsibilities, the easy way, without the costs and commitments of actually owning a pony.
