Shetland Pony Society of North America

 

 

The Breed Type & Characteristics –

 

The traditional Shetland pony is a compact wonder. These are the ponies we

remember from faded photographs taken in the early 1900's. These are the ponies that

pranced across the pages of Black Beauty as the ever loyal and wise Merry Legs.

These are the same ponies many of us had a love - hate relationship with as kids, ala

the Thelwell pony. As times have changed there has been pressure to also change

these traditional type ponies. The Shetland Pony Society of North America has been

formed to maintain the integrity of this hardy breed.
