Join Rosemary in this week’s video as she answers your question, are Shetlands expensive to keep?
We often get asked the question if it's cheaper to keep a Shetland pony rather than a bigger horse, as Shetlands are much smaller. Rosemary explains what you need to keep a Shetland pony happy and if it's expensive to keep one.
What do I need to keep a Shetland and are they expensive to keep?
Rosemary explores what you would need to keep a shetland and if it is any cheaper than keeping a bigger horse. To keep a Shetland you need:
A grass field with at least one acre
Shelter or a stable
Hard feed and hay
Farrier, to keep your ponies hooves trimmed
Vet in case there are any health issues
Saddles and bridles for riding

Our Shetland ponies live in Surrey, England, UK and are all trained to be ridden by children. We upload every Wednesday with mini films about the ponies’ life and adventures and we hope you will join us. Our aim is to help more children start pony riding and for more Shetlands to have loving active homes where they are well cared for.
