i havent seen that one yet...
i love how playful and inventive she is with both her mini and big herds ?
She got one of those large blow-up round clear balls that a human fits inside and runs in - took it in her field running in it alongside her horses, they thought it was great fun!

What problems are they prone to?
regarding electric fencing, do they get brave with it and sneak through? There was a wild herd in the bogs here and there was a shetland with them who got through my fencing and created a storm with my 2 horses - i dont know how he did it as i have 3 lines, one at 18 inches, then another 18 inches and a top line of 4.5 foot.

not mine but a lovely shettie I used to borrow who had a knack of dumping me in puddles and hiding in hedges.Elf On A Shelf

They either obey all fences or none. There is no inbetween! Once they figure out how to get through you wont stop them without building Fort Knox!

Mine will only tackle fencing if I take her friend away. They’re best friends!

My two are inseparable. Pepsi comes out on the leadrein on every ride ( which considering he could barely walk from arthritis when he arrived at 26 is a huge privilege). He trots along happily in front of Shy, sometimes so strong he pulls my arm out of its socket ! ?

29 years old now, magic shetland as first pony for daughter.
Amazing jumper, did everything and we loaned her out to another family for 6 years teaching their 3 children how to ride. Buckets of ribbons won with all riders and great experiences had.
She is now retired with us. Sadly though she lives for the attention of small children, so we have to pay a couple of 6yr olds to come over weekly and brush her and fuss over her. She is visibly cheered when she sees them and has a spring in her step for days afterward.
She needs to be around small children so, we have to buy them in.

This is ShitPig...he will be 9 or 10 in April (if I allow it..!!!)
He is an absolute *insert bad word* demon. He bites, he pests, he's an absolute pain in the posterior...but we love him. The other horses, hmmmm not so much...he terrorises them ????

I'll probably regret saying this but mine is fine with electric fencing. She never tests it and doesn't notice when it's turned off.
However, she is an absolute b****r for squeezing the tiniest gap at the gate when I'm taking one of the others out of the field and going on a rampage!

I get my weekly Shetland fix at munchkins miniature shetland rescue. It's definitely the cutest day of my working week and it's always a struggle not to bring one home with me!!

Mine too although if it touches the floor, he knows if it’s not clicking it’s off, then it’s fair game. So long as it’s always off the ground he doesn’t try.
