BREEDING SHETLAND PONY
FOR CHILDREN'S PLEASURE
Most Doci1e Of Equine Tribe and Seemingly
Most Saxacious-Where They Or1G
Came From.

ponies are kept by their breeders In
droves, and, when in the spring they
wander to the waters edge to get
taste of seaweed to supplement their
rations, scores of them perish as the
treacherous tides frequently catch
them unawares and the weakest are
carried out into the ocean.
The oft-asked question: From
whence did the Shetlands come? has
been answered in different ways. The
commonly accepted explanation Is
from the mainland many centuries
ago: that they were originally
horse, instead Of pony, and that tho
hardships they have been compelled
to endure have diminished their size.
This belief is fortified by the fact
that when the Shetland Is generously
fed he increases in size and bulk
and this fact also has brought disas
ter to number of breeders In this
country.
Whatever fashion demands, breed.
ers must supply or go out of business
| A pony that is not much taller than
great Dane will bring 500 more In
the market than one that measures
six inches higher. Rich fathers and
rich mothers seek the tiny ones for
their children, and they do not stand
on the matter of price when they
find what they are seeking. The
Shetland is the most docile Of the
equine tribe, and, seemingly, the mos1
sagacious. Doubtless, his environ
ments have sharpened his instincts
to remarkable degree. In blood he
is the plebeian of the plebeians, as we
moderns count horseflesh, for his
breeding is only one degree higher
than that of the OK or the ass; that
is, the true Shetland.
The most remarkable breed of pony
known is the Canadian French pony
his ancestors having been brought
over from France by the French colo
nists. He evidently has good blood
in his veins, and may have descended
from the Spanish palfrey, as he pace!
and trots, is a horse of high spirit
and of considerable speed. The noted

George w. Goodacre, prominent

much of his time in the future to the
breeding of Shetland ponies, and has

account of their gentleness and intelli-

With one or two exceptions. the

them could pass between the legs of
