The riding child proudly circles the quarry on the back of his Shetland pony. Her first riding lessons are starting to bear fruit, she is now much more comfortable on the back of her little companion.
The Shetland is a British pony breed native from the Shetland Islands in the North of Scotland. It is one of the smallest pony in the world, a peculiarity which it owes to its adaptation to the rigorous biotope of its original island. The Shetland was very successful in the 1850s thanks to its reduced size, which allowed it to squeeze into the narrow mining galleries to carry coal or metals. With the development of pony riding, it became a recreational and educational animal for children, which allow it to spread around world.
