Meet Our Ponies
Here at our Hampshire branch we have 6 adorable Shetland ponies. Shetland ponies are the oldest of Britain’s native breeds, they stand a maximum of 42” high but are very strong for there size. They are very hardy ponies and grow thick fluffy coats in the winter to keep them warm and dry!
Shetland ponies are known for their cheeky personalities, our ponies are all good natured characters and live together in a small herd allowing them time to relax and do pony stuff when they are not working.
Dinky
Dinky is the first pony we bought for pony magic, he is also our smallest pony and stands at just 32” tall, he is palomino in colour and is 8 years old. Dinky has proved to be a real star, he takes everything in his stride. Last year he even appeared in a pantomime and pulled Cinderella’s carriage across the stage at “The Point”, Eastleigh.
Spot
Many of you will know Spot well, he joined some time ago and although our youngest pony at 7 years old, he is very experienced having been to many events. He is a real character and loves to roll around in the mud which is unfortunate given his grey colouring ! We are always asked why he is called Spot, his spots are really only visible in summer when he has a sleek coat, his Spots have now vanished under a thick winter coat.
Charlie
Charlie is our biggest pony a chunky 42” , he is 8 years old with a jet black coat. Charlie has a very kind temperament and is always reliable and well behaved, he travels well and has been to many events and parties with us this year.
Daisy
Daisy is our only female pony (otherwise known as a mare), she is a very sweet natured pony and easy for even the smallest of children to handle. Daisy is 13 years old and bay in colour with a long flowing mane and tail, she is quite small around 35” and best friends with Dinky!
Frog
Another member of the team Frog has proved to a steady, reliable pony with a kind nature. He really seems to enjoy his work and has settled in well with his new friends. We are not why he is called Frog, a strange name for a pony! Frog has a shiny black coat, is 13years old and about 40” high.
Norman
The latest pony to join the gang! Norman is a lovely friendly pony, 16 years old and around 39” high. He is experienced in teaching young children to ride and had lots of practise at pony club!
