Choccy very cute litle friend of all the world will try to get away with everything ridden by children. If there is trouble to find he'll find it. Dusty is cuteness on four legs but is so timid. We've had them for over 2 years and he still very wary of people.

Here is mine !
Introducing Winkle - shetland x spotty pony x .. warthog ?
Stands around 8.2hh
Definitely lowest of the low in the pecking order (one of three) - but not averse to starting a fight and running away

Doesnt do anything apart from be a companion - came to me as a rescue pony at 2 years old, now 6. Worst habit is chasing anything that moves - sheep, cows, dogs...

rug size 4'6.

Occupation: eating, first ridden, eating, lead rein, eating, permanent diet, eating.

Pecking order: bottom.

My childrens first riding pony, who's been a saint (under the circumstances). Pretty well known in the area, attracts small children and grannies like flies. We've had him since Christmas, and in that time hes taught my son to ride on and off the lR and been a constant source of amusement. In the past he's done pony club, hunted, showed, done pony rides, sponsored rides. He's got his quirks... he'll bite adults, yet be a complete angel with kids.
We'll miss him like crazy when we have to get a bigger pony.
