The Shetland Pony originated from the Shetland Islands off the coast of Scotland. The islands are about 400 mi. south of the Arctic Circle and the weather is often very cold so the native ponies have adapted by growing winter coats like no other. They are small in size and this conserves energy and needs less food to survive in hostile environments. Shetland Ponies are the ultimate cold weather machines.
