mine have ben here 3 weeks and im sure theyre getting smaller the tamer they get, arent shetlands the smallest breed? mine are suprisingly stocky even their legs, and not too big for a cuddle tho! lol

today they came a-runnin, how cute is that? our calves have run of hill and access to barn. did wonder if theyd come back wen i first let them out last week but they seemed to know where their haylage was. wev quite a few trees as well as pasture, and they love hiding amongst trees, which is strange as shetland isle are supposed to have none, today i called em and rattled bucket and they galloped straight up hill to theyre barn, so cute!
