Do Shetland ponies need a stable?

Join Rosemary in this week’s advice video as she answers your question, do Shetland ponies need a stable?

Our ponies live outside all year round. This is called keeping a pony at ‘grass’. So, how do the ponies manage without a stable?

  • Shetlands prefer living outside with lots of open space and in a herd with friends to feel safe
  • They have adapted to outdoor life in the wild with a big tail, mane and fluffy coat to keep them warm
  • They find natural shelter in the field behind bushes and trees
  • We do have an emergency stable if the Shetlands need to see a vet

Where do Shetland Ponies go at night?

Have you ever wondered: where do Shetland Ponies go at night?

This week we join Rosemary as she visits the Shetland ponies at night time to find out what they get up to at the ranch.

Ponies are flight animals and they enjoy being in the open air.  They can sleep standing up, which is really clever.  So, what do they do all night at Shetland Pony Club?

Do they go into the stable to sleep?

Where do they feel safest?
