A moonwalking Shetland pony who became an internet sensation has lost a paternity battle after leaving his partner to seek out a new mate.
Five-year-old Socks was put out to stud with three mares next to a loch but abandoned them after taking a shine to another filly called Kimberley on the other side of the water.
After he swam out to meet her, Kimberley gave birth to a black colt called Scamp and hair samples were sent to a DNA laboratory to determine his paternity.
But the results have confirmed that Socks, who shot to fame in a mobile phone advert in which he danced to the Fleetwood Mac song Everywhere, is not the father.
And to add insult to injury, it has appeared that another stallion might have stolen his ladies man crown.
In a twist the ponies owner likened to an episode of the Jeremy Kyle show, Scamps father turned out to be Nuggett, who not only impregnated Kimberley but also appears to have had his wicked way with Felicity, one of Sockss mares, who has since given birth to a colt named Scallywag.
Mari Williamson, who runs the 200-acre Benston stud farm on Shetland, said Socks had been unlucky in love. "Socks is a bit of a Casanova, but Nuggett has beaten him to it, she said.
He was quicker off the draw with Kimberley and with Felicity too. The other mare he was with may or may not be pregnant. We will have to wait and see.

Don’t be ashamed. It is totally manly to like pink ponies.
Really.
Why does no one believe me?
LOL, probably because you’re wrong?
Nope. Ponys are very heterosexual and manly. Friendship IS magic!
What is most likely...Ponys are manly or Republicans are conservative?
I CAN prove hetros like MLP. NO ONE can prove Republicans today are conservative. But people still believe THAT ;)
LOL, I’m at a loss for words.
Be warned: the show is surprisingly addictive!
Are there really a bunch of dudes that watch My Little Pony?
I refuse to watch My Little Pony. It’s a show for young females. I’m an almost 40 y/o male.

ENJOY!
I’m 45. I checked out the show the fuss was about and was hooked by the third episode. It really is a good show with good writing, complex relatable characters and great music. Give it a try.
Yup. Why? I’ll speak for myself. The first season reminds me of the way cartoons used to be. And there was no lib propaganda to be found. The rest? No idea.
It was an aberration on modern programming.
I’m going to go drink now...
??? Geez and after how many John Edwards threads?
:-O
They both have wonderful hair.
Dare I say it is truly Excellent.
Well worth your viewing in every-way.
The Second and Third Season's are even better than the first.And You Have Songs like this stuck in your head all day.
ENJOY!
I keep waiting for Ashton Kutcher to burst through my door and tell me “you just got punked”.
There's a Pony for that.
