Thank! I (mom) did ride the pony for some time to train him. Then the kids worked on the lunge line for several years until they could walk/trot/canter. Then they were allowed off the lunge. We've had the pony for near 8 years and it's sad that the kids are outgrowing him. He's been the best pony.
They're SO cute together!! The pony reminds me of a mini version of my half-Arabian gelding, they have similar markings, facial expressions, and movement :)
You should try to train him for driving. He would be very awesome at it. Then he could still be useful to the kids and you! If I were you I would look into that.
that is just way too cute X3... hpe your able to get them a either bigger pony or mid sized horse for them or even just horse of what ever you be wanting for them some time soon so they can continue
How wonderful !!! I had a great pony as a child growing up, havent had a horse nearly as good as she was ever since !!! Bravo to you and your wonderful Pony !!! Sandra H. Boise Idaho
Your video is so cute. I have never done dressage myself. I show jumped for years and now just do western since I am older. This proves as long as someone loves a sport enough and is willing to put this time in, any size horse can do it.
And people think Shetland ponies are all brats. It is so wonderful that so many fortunate children have the privlege of owning a horse or pony. I did and it taught me more than any classroom ever did. Fantastic job, Duke. You're one in a million. Great riding, too. Thank you, God, for giving us the horse.
I KNOW THAT ARENA! Thats Lake Erie College in Painesville, OH! I used to go to college there. Always loved when children came and showed their ponies :)

She had just turned 8yo at the time of this video. The pony has been a wonderful first pony for her and now for her brother. Thanks!

This pony is PRECIOUS. He must be worth his weight in gold!!! Well, given his diminutive size, let's go with double his weight in gold :)
I can't handle this much cute. That little girl is so lucky! Brilliant pony :)
