This week, watch the Shetland ponies running out to grass at the end of their busy summer riding programme.
Watch the Shetland ponies running out to grass
There’s a new paddock being made ready for the Shetland ponies to enjoy at the end of a busy summer of riding. Some of the ponies are excited to get there quickly to enjoy the long grass.
Which Shetland pony runs the fastest?
Watch to see which pony runs the fastest out to the grass – do you think Mufasa is the fastest, or is it Simba, Fudge or Prince William?
Who is best friends with Shetland pony Nottingham?
Nottingham is keen to get to the new grass and his best friend follows quickly after – but who is it?

It’s time for introducing our new Shetland ponies to the herd. Now that they are settled, Mufasa and Balmoral can start to meet their new pony friends at Shetland Pony Club.
Introducing our new Shetland ponies
Mufasa and Balmoral have spent some time getting to know the ponies in the Shetland Pony Club herd over the fence. They have said hello and slept nearby, and Dinky is keen to meet them and play.
New best friends
First of all, Teddy Bear gets to meet the new ponies. Watch as he has a play with Balmoral. How do they say hello to each other?
Find out which other ponies meet Mufasa and Balmoral next? Do they get on straight away?
Horsing around
Balmoral is keen to make friends with all the ponies. Who does he have a race with, in the meadows at Shetland Pony Club?
What an exciting day – we have 2 new Shetland ponies arriving at The Ranch.

Find out about the 2 new Shetland ponies
Can you see what colours the new ponies are? What are their names?
Do the other Shetland ponies meet them?
It’s very important that their new surroundings are calm and peaceful when they arrive, to give them time to settle and relax. See if the other ponies come and meet them and what happens?
