Ziggy is a very loving pony who loves cuddle from the staff and likes plenty of attention. William is more reserved and can take a while to trust people but he loves to have his mane and tail brushed.
The shetland ponies eat hay which is given to the every morning and evening in haynets. They also enjoy eating grass when they are turned out into the paddocks in the warmer months where they also enjoy having a gallop round. It is important that the shetland ponies are brushed regularly to keep their coats clean and healthy.
