Ponies are small horses that as adults are less than 14.2 hands. A "hand" is a measurement that is equal to 4 inches. So a pony is less than 56.8 inches tall, that would be about 4 feet 9 1/2 inches tall, or 1.47 meters tall.
The Shetland Pony is a breed of pony that originated in the Shetland Isles North-east of Scotland. The breed, to register as a Shetland Pony, can not be over 42 inches tall, or 1.06 meters tall. Shetland Ponies may be a combination of interbreeding between the original ponies on the Shetland Isles, Viking horses, and Celtic horses.
During the industrial revolution Shetland Ponies were used to pull mine carts to help supply coal for the factories. The last coal mine that used Shetland Ponies closed in 1972. Now this gentle breed of pony is often ridden by children. The Shetland Pony is also quite intelligent.
My drawings today include a mother Shetland with her foal. This drawing is at the top of today's blog. Remember that a foal is a baby horse, less than 1 year old. A female foal is a filly and a male foal is a colt. Cartoon ponies have become very popular over the last several years. I draw them in my own styles.
A Paint Pony, (one with spots)... and she has a friend! I drew one Shetland Pony whose mane is so poofy it covers his eyes. There are some Pygmy Ponies in love under the rainbow! And, a pony between two trees! I hope you enjoy coloring them all!
