shetland pony - england

Interesting choice of format for little pony.

hmm, there's that word - interesting - now do tell, what exactly do you mean? do you find the placement of the pony not right to show off the ponyness? or does it give you good/bad perspective on the size of the pony?

or maybe 'interesting' is simply that...

It fits just perfect with this play of lines,numbers and colours behind.
This formats we often use are a little boring so its nice to see different one from time to time.

Wonderful capture.

thank you, Don. i loved being there to get it!

Terrific capture!

Thanks - really happy people are liking this.

Oooh, that is way too much adorableness for my eyes, and look at those stumpy little legs!

I know, right? And after being told that the ponies are stand offish, this one let both me and our son pet it!!

Beautiful!

Thank you so much. Both the pony and the landscape held their own that day.

Nice shot and the landscape is beautiful, too.

Thanks Ron. Oh yes, the landscape was totally gorgeous. Everywhere we turned it was green and luscious.

Lovely portrait

thank you! the pony really wanted to be friends - very unusual for the free roaming group i'm led to understand.

Great photo, they look nice but are inclined to bite for no reason.

Thank you.

But now you tell me about the biting! This particular pony didn't bite, but did sniff at my sons gently held out hand after allowing us to pet it. Our hosts said it was very unusual.

Super shot. And I can see it is a Shetland pony. We have these down in Cornwall in a few places. They are effective lawnmowers and keep clifftop grasslands in good shape!

Thanks so much. This photo brings back many memories for me. I wish I had a Shetland pony here to take such good care of my lawn!

Great photo - a tough looking character.

thank you. this photo has lots of memories for me, so when others like it i get to revisit this visit. does indeed look tough, but ended up being the sweetie of the group that was wandering there - actually came right up to my son all curious and nice.

Very nice! Looks a bit windswept (in the mane). Beautiful scenery as well.

Thanks so much. I was so thrilled to be able to be in that place and actually see the animals up close that I have no recollection of any wind - ha! But must have been. The mane tells all.

It was a gorgeous place to be sure.

A friend told me, that horses do have an instinct and check you out for trustfulness ;-)

The background forest and mountains are so painterly...
