Description

Shetland ponies are one of the smallest, yet strongest, pony breeds in the world, originating from Scotland’s Shetland Isles over 4,000 years ago. They are small, usually measuring between 28 and 42 inches (7–10.5 hands) at the withers. They have stocky, muscular bodies, short legs, and long, thick manes and tails. They grow a dense double coat in winter to shed rain and snow. They are long-lived, with an average lifespan of 20–25 years, and it is not unusual for them to live over 30 years. Shetland ponies require consistent training due to their high intelligence and tendency to take advantage of handlers.

Independent Review

These are the views of the independent Good Toy Guide experts on the play value of our animals: "These wooden collectible animal figures are fantastic for open-ended and imaginative play, which is the superfood of a healthy play diet. This is because it provides so many opportunities for children to build social skills, make sense of the world around them and develop language. As they play together and form a story, children have to negotiate roles, listen to others, use creativity and practice speech to communicate what is happening. The animals also feature beautiful detailing including ridges and curves which makes them very tactile and calming to touch. They proved very sturdy too, standing up to vigorous and messy play. It would be lovely to build up a collection of the figures over time to play with, that could then be handed down between family or friends."
