this is Pip, my son’s miniature shetland.
he literally is priceless
he has never had anything pulled behind him before but today we just hitched him up and off he went bless him. You ask him... he obliges! inhand show pony (and champion thankyouverymuch) young handler ‘nanny’ (alsochampionthankyouverymuch) leadrein pony, jumping pony, fancy dress champion, happy hacker and general family friend. We cannot put into words how much we love him. Whats more, he is fiesty! He had a few bucks doing this and he escaped after and did a few laps of the place before we caught him, but he is never ever nasty, he is speedy and full of character.
before we got him he was unbroken and the lady who had bought him to show was threatening to shoot him for being riggy and dangerous, she couldnt handle him at shows!! He apparently had to have veterinary treatment to his crown jewels after her ‘correction’ of his behavour For the record, he is not riggy. We have a stud with 2 stallions and 14 mares and he is perhaps sensitive - but with time and love he has repayed us more than we could value.
