#MakingMemories with a Shetland Pony Experience at Totleywells

We have three Shetland Ponies at Totleywells. Wellie, Tiana and Jem. Wellie is a 28 year old miniature Shetland who came to Totleywells from one of our friends, as a companion pony for one of our anxious horses, she is now the much loved old lady of the yard.


We then rescued two further Shetland Ponies from the Scottish SPCA, despite their terrible start in life, they have turned into the most loved wee characters at Totleywells, and love being groomed and walked by our visitors. Tiana is a six year old Miniature Shetland mare and Jem is a six year old black Shetland mare.

Both are companion ponies at the yard and are much loved by all the big horses, and are now being enjoyed by guests who love our Shetland Pony Experience..
