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.

Our first sunset charity walk with the Shetland Ponies is finally here. The ponies are surprised to be going out in the evening. Let’s find out how they get on in this week’s video.
Guests arrive
With so many guests supporting our first-ever Sunset charity walk with the Shetland ponies, all 21 ponies join in and help us support Cancer Research UK.
Meeting our ponies and learning to walk them
There’s a few simple rules to learn about brushing and walking with the ponies, then we are off around the meadows.
Wildflowers and pony walking
Everyone does really well walking with their ponies and the weather is balmy and warm. We stroll through the wildflower meadows and finish in the long grass on Sunset Ridge to enjoy drinks and nibbles – just a perfect summer’s evening.
Thank you to everyone who has supported our Sunset Charity Walk with the Shetland Ponies in aid of Cancer Research.
