“FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY FOR A HANDS ON EXPERIENCE (in 3 interactive stations) WITH 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.

Meet our adorable cheeky little foals.

Pet and brush the ponies indoors before learning how to lead the ponies around a simple obstacle course. Children can have a short supervised pony ride at this point.

Finally there are plenty of picture perfect photo opportunities while you lead the ponies through the idyllic, picturesque, rugged coastal field to a secluded beach where we take your photos with the ponies on your camera.

A positively authentic Shetland experience!

BOOKING ESSENTIAL - Open by appointment only

The Experience is suitable for adults or families with children aged 5+ (we don’t have facilities for spectators).

The cost is £45 per person.

The duration is 1.5 hours total

Suitable protective footwear is required, in order to handle the ponies, with closed toes. No sandals, lightweight pumps, crocs or high heels please.
