They're characters aren't they? I don't think I've ever met a pony with such a huge personality as a shetland.

The problem with shetlands is people treat them like pets and tit bit them too much. They have the same needs as any pony, and are very intelligent.
Any horse can bite, it's nothing to do with breed! If you're ever round my way, come and meet our shetland...he's (in my 6yo son's words) "the perfect pony".
