Small Watercolour/Pastel, of Shetland ponies

A small Watercolour/Pastel, of Shetland ponies by local artist Fred Irvine (1890-1976).

For over two thousand years there have been Ponies in Shetland. Because of the remote location, the small stature,between 70 and 105cm high, and hardiness of the breed is firmly imprinted in its genes and has also retained the purity of the stock.
