What makes a quality Shetland Pony?
This week we find out what makes a quality Shetland Pony in an information video from Rosemary.
Find out about pony passports and if they mean that a pony has good breeding.
You will learn which characteristics to look for in a quality Shetland Pony, such as a kind eye and a friendly presence.
We will also show you more features to look out for: such as a full mane; a high set tail, a fluffy coat and small ears to protect them from the poor weather in the Shetland Islands.
There’s lots more information in the video and you can find out which of our ponies are well-bred and high quality.
Watch the video to find out more:
