The original Shetland pony was isolated on the Shetland islands (north Scotland). Poor conditions and lack of food resulted in small, compact, hardy and heavy coated pony. Shetlands are now distributed
throughout most of the world and have been modified from their original stocky physiques into several different subtypes that vary in size, bone and movement.
