In Equine Handling lecture today we were learning about the different breeds of horses.
The Shetland pony is a very popular pony that young children get and their parents let them take full responsibility for it. Bad idea! A kid is not able to make sure that the horse is getting all the nutrition it needs and will usually keep feeding the horse as long as it keeps eating. This will cause you to have one fat pony. Dr. Kerns was telling us that Shetland ponies are usually obese because of the fact that kids are left to care for these little guys. The best part was when Dr. Kerns said that soon the parents will have athletic children that know how to do splits, because the pony is so fat.
