In this week’s video you’ll find out:
Why are Shetland Ponies so small?
Shetland Ponies originate from the Shetland Isles, where there are no trees for shelter and the weather is wet, cold, and windy. Being small meant that Shetland Ponies could adapt and survive the harsh conditions.
Are our Shetlands fully grown?
Yes! Most of our Shetlands are teenagers now. We don’t have any young foals or young stock at Shetland Pony Club.
How to measure a Shetland Pony?
Shetland Ponies are measured from the ground to the top of their wither. You measure them in inches. This is different from other horses or ponies who are normally measured in hands. Our smallest pony, Snowdrop, is only 32 inches high! The biggest a Shetland pony can be is 42 inches.

****************************************************
Our eighteen Shetland ponies live in Surrey, England, UK and are all trained to be ridden by children. We upload every Wednesday with mini films about the ponies’ life and adventures and we hope you will join us. Our aim is to help more children start pony riding and for more Shetlands to have loving active homes where they are well cared for.
