We are just beginning to realize the
immense amount of fun and usefulness that
can be cotton out of pony. He can be
harnessed quickly by ladies OF children, can
be driven anywhere at any pace and at any
length, will take the boys and girls for a
gallop while you are looking for the coach
man for your regular rig, and he will wait
with the sublimest patience till you gossip
to your hearts content and never complain.
They cost so little to keep, to harness, to
tend, and they are so healthy, so hardy, and
so handy. They double the pleasure of the
home and are never in the way. Shetlands
will allow children to do almost anything
with them, and there is very little that
an enterprising boy will not attempt to do
with the ponies. See WALL and get your
boy or girl Shetland.
