In case anyone has been influenced by another mini pony thread

I wouldn't bet on it! Mine had double coats, the amount of stuff on the floor after a clip was extraordinary.
.

I tend to think of Fells as giant Shetlands albeit I've not tried to clip her yet.

@LadyGascoyne there's two tiny palominos on my drive to the yard different shades, I can pop them in the back of the car.

The trouble with leading shetlands as I found out with mine friend's standard shetland stallion is that you can't use your elbow in their neck to give you some leverage. You just need strength, something I lack these days.

I find a lunge line handy, although you can end up skiing if it's muddy

I find voice is the best control/aid for a Shetland. Best not to shout/swear/mutter though, if trying to hold them back. Nice and calm usually does the trick. (Easier said than done sometimes!)

Its a shame everyone is so far away from me because she would absolutely love so much extra attention you could visit for snuggles and grooms

This popped up on my memories of 10 years ago, which means I’ve had this mare for just over 10 years. Which means I’ve had minis for about 12 years. That’s insane! Where does time go?

 

[Alwaysmoretoknow]

Haha - the minipause? (I've got one too)

I had to actually lay on the grass to do up the belly

I so wish you and Valerie were not so far far away as my elderly 30 something mini lad would love to say hello in fact their markings are pretty similar ….maybe they are related ! How old is Valerie?

 

[Surbie]
