There are many fascinating experiences to enjoy on a journey around the British Isles. Follow along as I explore our top 10 favorite British Isle experiences. The wind-swept Shetland Islands, where the Atlantic Ocean collides with the North Sea, is home to some unique and fascinating characters.
While the Shetland pony dates back to the Bronze Age, it was primarily breeding with the Durham ponies brought by the Vikings that created the sprightly breed we see today.
Oh, the spirit is pretty high. They have high spirits. Everyone has a different personality. There's a big white one, she always stands with her head up, looks up, and her ears up and everything. See me.
When I was young, the ponies weren't for fun. They were for work. All the craft work was done on the ponies. There were no tractors. They did the carting and the hay collecting and the corn binding, the reaping. Everything was done with a pony.
And in 1847, when the British banned children from the coal mines, the tough Shetland pony went to work underground. For years they were in constant demand, since these resilient, sure-footed wonders could move loads of coal up to 3,000 miles a year.
In such a spacious, relaxed setting, one could easily assume that raising the highly intelligent, extremely patient Shetland pony would be a piece of cake. I was quickly assured that was not the case. No, no, no.
