We are often asked how Shetland Pony Club began. This week, for our 15th birthday, Rosemary shares the story of how the idea for a Ranch full of adorable Shetland ponies was born.
How Shetland Pony Club began
Many years ago, the children had an adorable Shetland pony called Billy, who they rode everywhere, including to school. Billy was a special pony and the children had so much fun caring for him, riding him and loving him.
Small Ponies…Big Dreams
The children had a dream that it would be wonderful to have more Shetland ponies and share their fun with others, and so in 2008 that dream became a reality. Since then, thousands of children have visited the ponies at The Ranch and enjoyed riding them and caring for them too.
15 years on, and still going strong
Some of the original Shetland ponies are still with us today. Can you recognize any of them in the video? Our adorable Shetland ponies have a home for life with us, and they love to meet new children who want to ride.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Shetland Pony Club and our wonderful ponies and team over the last 15 Years.

This week we have taken the Shetland Ponies Wild Swimming at the river with the children on our summer camp days.
Special summer pony camp days
You can only get to enjoy wild swimming with the ponies on some of our special summer pony camp days. We join the first lucky children of the season to enjoy this magical pony paddling experience.
First, the ponies went into the water with their helpers to get used to the cool waters.
Then the children got on and enjoyed an amazing time, wild swimming with their ponies. You can only get to enjoy wild swimming with the ponies on some of our special summer pony camp days.
Best day of my life!
Was it fun? “YES – it’s been the best day of my life!” said one of our happy riders.
The cows wanted to come and join in the fun too! Take a look at what they saw by watching the video: Shetland Ponies Wild Swimming

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!
