The Shetland Pony is a true cold climate equine, showing the rounded body, short legs, thick mane, forelock and tail hair. A wide neck, and relativity large head are all features that help retain body heat. The winter coat is very thick and water-resistant.

What are Shetland ponies useful for, other than pleasing children?
Do they have enough "horse-power" to pull a wagon or a load of wood? What are the benefits of choosing a shetland?
Love what you're doing, Joanna!! I'm reading through all of them and learning SOOOO much. Honestly, I didn't know ANY of this stuff before. haha :) So thank you.
