Title: TV Advert with pony
Post by: Penninehillbilly on December 15, 2015, 01:22:33 am

I'm sure most will have seen the advert for Amazon prime, where there is a small sad pony and some horses, the girl orders a large 'cat flap' so the pony can come inside.
Is the pony right? It's head/nose doesn't look right somehow.

The pony suffers from dwarfism.

Shetlands can be prone to it.
