Shetland Pony

Off the coast of Scotland like the Shetland Islands, native habitat of the smallest pony in Britain: the Shetland Pony. It's thought that the breed evolved on the Scandinavian tundra and was possibly brought over by Viking raiders. These hardy ponies are excellent mounts for children and fine family pets. They are good movers, nice jumpers, and first-rate, fun driving ponies for the entire family.
