The Shetland Pony Experience

About

“FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO MEET THE WORLD FAMOUS SHETLAND PONIES IN THE SHETLAND ISLES!” No visit to Shetland is complete without getting up close and personal with our friendly Shetland ponies in The Shetland Pony Experience! We are based at Papil in Burra, just a 25 minute scenic drive from Lerwick. ​ The Experience is suitable for adults and families with children. It is very hands on and includes plenty of picture perfect photo opportunities while you lead the ponies through the idyllic, picturesque, rugged coastal fields to a secluded beach. Also… you will pet, brush and handle the ponies indoors before learning how to lead the ponies through a simple obstacle course and children can have a short supervised pony ride. Not forgetting… a close encounter with our adorable cheeky little foals. A positively authentic Shetland experience! BOOKING ESSENTIAL ​ Duration: 1 hour. Cost: £45 GBP per person. We do not provide transport.
