Today our Shetland Pony Batman, is having his special plastic horseshoes refitted. Let’s find out how they work.
First, the old shoes need to come off. They look a bit worn out, it’s time for a new set!
Before the new ones are put on Batman’s hooves need to be trimmed back. It’s a tricky job and you need a specialist to cut back hooves. Farriers train for a long time in the UK and they are highly skilled at trimming ponies’ hooves back.
It’s time for your pedicure Batman!
Next, the new plastic horseshoes need to be the correct size. They are put in boiling water, so you’ve got to be careful.
Batman now has to stand very still on the rubber mat whilst the new horseshoes are being glued to his hooves. The Farrier must be careful not to glue their fingers together at this point.
Then Batman must wait a few minutes to make sure the horseshoes have set. Batman’s new shoes look great, and he’s been very patient during the process, well done Batman!

Last weekend we had our very own special Jubilee Shetland Pony Street Party!
The ponies are all dressed up in their Union Jack flags, Jubilee sashes and their little tiaras and crowns.
Can you see what special outfit Tintin is wearing for the celebrations?
In London the Trooping of the Colour Parade is under way, and in honour of The Queen we have our very own Pony Parade too. The skies were clear at The Ranch and we saw the aeroplanes that took part in the fly pass from London.
We had fun photos under the Jubilee arch and in the special photo frame. Can you see Prince William posing?
After the parade and photos, it’s time for party tea. We had lots of yummy cakes, sandwiches, and muffins. Everyone joined in and had so much fun. We think The Queen would’ve approved of our Pony Street Party!
