Haggis doesn't look to appetizing.... but, I never realized the Shetland's were big enough to ride!!
Shinty is a team sport that resembles the native Irish game called Hurling, and Hurling is the grandaddy of Hockey!
Some Shetlands can be quite big. This one was not, but he was an evil little bugger. I stayed away from him, as I didn't trust him.
I think my favorite pony is a Welsh mountain pony. They are quite docile and easy to ride. Since they are quite well padded, they are comfortable to sit.
