Shetland Ponies are great little jumpers. They have good ground manners and are the best trail ponies. They are a sturdy breed, great with small children and are the ideal breed to have in riding schools. Shetland Ponies can have a volatile temperament. They are prone to laminitis and are very cheeky little characters. They will buck, as they are stubborn little ponies, so expect some bucking from them. You must earn their trust. Shetland Ponies are very hairy. They have a thick mane and have a not entirely amusing mischievous streak. They have a competitive streak and actually enjoy the holidays.

[@653j521]

Cat Lover Which holidays do they enjoy the most? :) Are they partial to, say, Memorial Day over Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday? Or do they like the holidays that involve special foods like Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas? Are they partial to relaxing on the beach during spring break? I would imagine holidays with fireworks are only fun for humans. (Disclaimer: the choice of holidays where you live may vary.) :)

[@veek.6463]

Had a welsh pony as a small child. She was super cute. Rode her as was taking lessons on big horses at my trainers barn. One day in the ring she kicked my trainer's show jumping mare. Didn't hurt her but boy was my trainer done with ponies. My vet bought her for his son and I got a free lease on one of my trainer's older horses who was 17.1hh. Big change from a 10hh pony to 17hh. But the horse was always quiet and well behaved.

[@equineequitation4499]

The little bay was very feisty. Quite the pony. But yet again the rider was taking to much rein and pulling on the bit.

[@meadowbird2523]

not true - I'm a jockey youre supposed to hold the reins tightly before the race so your horse/pony doesn't get his/her excitement up to much. Then when the race bell goes you losen your reins a touch and leg your pony/horse on

You're looking at a little kid in a competition in a big arena being watched by thousands of people, maybe, just maybe she was a little scared, nervous, overwhelmed by everything to smile, she probably didn't even take in that she won until later when it all sunk in. But fine, judge her because she didn't smile and that she didn't pat her pony right after she won, because we literally just saw the last 10 seconds after the race finished and maybe she smiled 12 seconds after we will never know because we were not there -.-'

I've got to say that kids this age would be better off riding their ponies for fun rather than in competition. I got my first pony at age 6 and never had to endure parental pressure to compete and win, thank goodness!

[@cyflym11]

Oh for goodness sake, it's not a real 'competition', it's more of a display, although the children do have to qualify to be allowed to do it. The Shetland Grand National is an organisation to raise money for charity and runs at various venues throughout the year with the final at Olympia Horse Show at Christmas. The children are doing it for fun, it doesn't really matter who wins as long as money is raised for good causes such as Great Ormond street Children's Hospital.

[@avastamato4145]

Um idk why the announcer said that they can hold twice their body weight when horses are supposed to only carry 20 percent of their body weight. To have them carry anymore would cause them to have back issues.
