A Pony Called "Captain"

I have a friend who is just about to buy a pony and after seeing these photos I can understand why. I have limited equine experience, but usually have found small ponies like Shetlands are often snakey and unpredictable. Whilst the perfect size for young children to hone their early riding skills, their temperament is often not ideal. This pony Captain, though, has immeasurable patience and even tolerated being dressed up  in a costume for several hours. At one stage the headress slipped right over his eyes and still he stood there calmly until someone restored his vision. What a darling !!

Shetland Ponies are so cute. Well, really, mini versions of just about anything are cute :-) Captain sounds like a sweet guy - I know my dogs would NOT be patient about keeping on a costume for 5 seconds, let alone several hours!
