Pony History
Shetland ponies originated in the Shetland Islands, located
northeast of mainland Scotland. Small horses lived on the
Shetland Islands since the Bronze Age, and while the roots
of the ancient wild pony are unknown, it is believed that
they are related to the ancient Scandinavian ponies; the
islands were once physically connected to Scandinavia up
until the end of the last Ice Age, approximately 8000 BC.
People who lived on the islands domesticated the animal and
later crossed the native stock with ponies imported
by Norse settlers. Shetland ponies also were probably influenced
by the Celtic Pony, brought to the islands by the Celts between
2000 and 1000 BC. The harsh climate and scarce food developed
the ponies into extremely hardy animals.
Shetland ponies were first used for pulling carts, carrying
peat and other items, and ploughing farmland. Then, as the
Industrial Revolution increased the need for coal in the
mid-19th century, thousands of Shetland ponies travelled
to mainland Britain to be pit ponies, working underground
hauling coal, often for their entire (often short) lives.
Coal mines in the eastern United States also imported some
of these animals.
The Shetland Pony Stud Book Society of the United Kingdom
was started in 1890 to maintain purity and encourage high-quality
animals. In 1957, the Shetland Islands Premium Stallion Scheme
was formed to subsidize high-quality registered stallions
to improve the breeding stock.
