Shetland Pony - The Pony with the Big Heart

Shetland Ponies originated in the Shetland Islands of Scotland, where harsh weather and scarce food created one of the hardiest, strongest pony breeds in the world! Despite standing only 28-46 inches tall, Shetlands are incredibly strong for their size and possess gentle, intelligent temperaments that make them perfect first ponies for children. Their thick double coats, abundant manes and tails, and compact build help them thrive in harsh climates. This ornament beautifully captures the breed's characteristic sturdy build and sweet expression!

Buckskin Tobiano - A Stunning Color Combination

This Shetland mare features buckskin tobiano coloring - a beautiful combination of the golden buckskin base color with white tobiano pinto markings! Buckskin is a dilution gene that creates a golden or tan body with black points (mane, tail, and lower legs), while tobiano is a pinto pattern characterized by rounded white markings. Together, they create a striking, eye-catching appearance that's highly prized among pony enthusiasts!

Festive Ribbon and Bells

This Shetland mare is beautifully decorated for the holidays with festive ribbon woven through her mane and cheerful bells that add seasonal charm! The decorations celebrate the tradition of adorning ponies for holiday parades, winter festivals, and Christmas celebrations. The ribbon and bells complement the buckskin tobiano coloring perfectly, creating a joyful holiday scene!

Sommer Prosser's Artistic Vision

Renowned equine artist Sommer Prosser designed this ornament, bringing her distinctive style and deep understanding of horse anatomy and personality to the piece. Prosser is celebrated for capturing not just the physical characteristics of breeds, but their spirit and temperament. Her Shetland Pony design showcases the breed's sturdy build, thick mane, and gentle expression that makes these ponies so beloved!

Britain's Smallest Native Pony

Shetland Ponies are Britain's smallest native pony breed, but what they lack in height they make up for in strength, intelligence, and personality! These ponies were originally used for pulling carts, carrying peat and coal, and plowing farmland in the harsh Shetland Islands. Their incredible strength-to-size ratio means they can pull twice their own weight - making them one of the strongest equines relative to their size!

Investment-Grade Annual Collectible

Breyer's Beautiful Breeds series has become increasingly collectible, with earlier editions sought after by breed enthusiasts and ornament collectors. As a limited-edition 2025 release, this Shetland Pony won't be available forever. The 24th anniversary status and the popularity of Shetland Ponies make this edition particularly special for series completists and pony lovers!

Educational Breed Celebration

Each Beautiful Breeds ornament provides an opportunity to learn about different horse and pony breeds from around the world. The Shetland Pony represents Scottish heritage, island adaptation, and the important role small ponies have played in agriculture and as children's mounts. This ornament celebrates both the breed's working history and their current role as beloved family ponies!

Perfect First Pony Representation

Shetland Ponies are often children's first riding experience, making them special in the hearts of countless equestrians! Their small size, gentle nature, and patient temperament make them ideal for young riders learning the basics of horsemanship. This ornament celebrates that special bond between children and their first pony - a relationship that often sparks a lifelong love of horses!
