Shetland Pony figurine with saddle - Papo

If the equine world fascinates you, this figurine representing a Shetland pony with great realism should delight you with new equestrian stories! The Shetland is a breed of British pony originating from the Shetland Islands, in the north of Scotland. It is one of the smallest equines in the world, a particularity that it owes to its adaptation to the rigorous biotope of its original island. Shetland enjoyed great success in the 1850s thanks to its small size, which allowed it to squeeze through narrow mining galleries to carry coal or metals. With the development of pony riding, it became a leisure and educational animal for children, which brought it to the whole world. Like other Papo figurines, this figurine is made of hand-painted plastic. Note: Horsewoman figurine not included.
