Much loved by everyone from young children to the Queen, Shetland Ponies are one of Scotland's most adorable exports. Averaging a height of just 102 cm (40 inches) these miniature ponies are hardy, loyal and good-natured.
Serving as military mascots, racing steeds for children, miniature pack animals and even pets, these wonderful little mammals are known for their small stature, heavy coat and short legs.
For centuries, they've worked hard in every community they've been part of and though in recent times they've become better known as pets or mascots, they have high levels of endurance derived from their breeding and are deceptively strong belying their short stature.
