Enthusiastic cub scouts visit the Shetland ponies

by Shetland Pony Club | Jun 30, 2021

Come on ponies, we have lots of enthusiastic cub scouts coming to visit the Shetland ponies this evening.

Enthusiastic cub scouts visit the Shetland ponies

The cub scouts are learning to lead the Shetland ponies around the meadows at Shetland Pony Club. Let’s join them as they set off.

Team Gordon is doing really well at the front, and Elgin Sunset is also enjoying being led by his team of cub scout leaders.

Shetland pony traffic jam ahead!

Oh no, what’s happening – there’s a Shetland pony traffic jam. Which pony has stopped to have a snack of grass? Can you spot any other ponies having a break too?

Enthusiastic cub scouts clear up the paddock

The ponies are safely back in The Ranch and now it’s time to do some jobs. The cub scout team should be good at clearing up the paddock. Find out how they get on.

Shetland Ponies get the Munchies

by Shetland Pony Club | Apr 25, 2018

Shetland Ponies get the Munchies at the ranch this week. Elgin Sunset is trying to have a quiet snack, on his own.

He has some special medicine that he has in his feed. The medicine helps older ponies like Elgin to lose their winter coat when the spring comes. He needs to do this, so that he does not get too hot in the summer time. This is known as Cushing’s disease and it’s very common in older ponies.
