Shetland Pony Grand National
The Shetland pony is the smallest of the British native breeds with a maximum height of 42" (107cm) and is seen as small as 28" (72cm) or so. It is hardy and resilient being very strong for its size. It has a medium sized head, a rather dished face with a well shaped muzzle and a jaw capable of grazing poor growth over an extensive area.
For these miniature equines there are miniature jockeys to ride them. Infact, all the runners and riders are aged between 10 and 12 years old. The racing is Fast, Furious and Fun!
Shetland Pony Grand Nationals are one of the highlights of many country shows up and down Britain during the summer. They bring a lot of pleasure to the watching public and the young jockeys.
The course is two laps of the show ring and runners and riders have to jump all five fences twice. In the end, 10 year Charles Graves won quite comfortably on his pony “Lancing.” Quite whether Charles will take up professional duties in years to come is unknown, but one thing is for sure, all the punters walked away with a smile on their faces, as none of them lost any money on the horses as betting isn’t allowed!

The James L. Voss Veterinary Teaching Hospital at CSU gave a 3-year-old miniature horse a new lease on life by using a 3-D printer and prosthetics to replace a missing hoof.
Shine was injured after a vicious dog attack left his left hind leg mangled and infected. Veterinarians at the hospital had to amputate the leg in order for Shine to survive.
According to Colorado State University, owners Jacque Corsentino and Lee Vigil told veterinarians to "do whatever it takes" to give the horse another chance at a normal life.
And thanks to Shine's size — he's 30 inches tall and 150 pounds — he was a good candidate for a prosthetic hoof.
