How do you carry out a Rice Trailer conversion into a Vintage Horsebox Shop? It’s quite a challenge …but, with a vision, lots of determination, skill and many hours of hard work, the dream can become a reality.
How we made our Vintage Horsebox Shop
Our New Vintage Shetland Pony Shop is now open at The Ranch, and in this video we see how the Rice Trailer conversion transformed an old horse trailer into a den of Shetland Pony gorgeousness. Find out how we made our fun pop-up shop, selling all things “Shetland Pony” or from the Shetland Islands, in this weeks video.

Come and ride with us and take home a Shetland pony toy or Shetland Isles memento from our Vintage Horsebox Shop.

We hope that you are all well and staying safe. The ponies are missing you and pony riding fun at The Ranch. Whilst we can’t ride, we have been busy creating a new free website for you, called Shetland Pony Club Online, to keep you in touch with the ponies.
It is a new fun website full of pony videos, learning and activities for you to enjoy at home. There is even a section for parents.
In the Shetland Pony Club Online website you will find:
Getting Started – pony news, reward chart and certificates
Pony Learning – child-safe videos and quizzes to learn about ponies
Pony Fun Online – pony painting, word searches and quizzes
Pony Fun at Home – pony craft ideas, pony photo gallery and colouring templates to print and enjoy at home
Ponies for Parents – the benefits of ponies, the riding equipment you need and our shop
More – Shetland Pony Club TV catch up and your craft and artwork on display
Shetland Pony Club Online is our way of helping you get through these unusual times. It enables you and your children to have pony fun and learning that you would normally have had at The Ranch.
We have created this website for free, but many of you have asked about donations. If you would like to support our work you can make a small donation through the fun “Buy me a Coffee” scheme. Just click on the link to donate.
We hope you’ll enjoy our fun new Online Pony Club. Do let us know if you’re enjoying it.
We look forward to seeing you inside the new Online Pony Club.
Stay safe and thank you from the Ponies and the Shetland Pony Club Online Team
