He is considered black, but he changes from season to season. In spring when he sheds off, he is very dark. Then as summer approaches he gets almost like a grulla, he looks as if he has a dorsal stripe. Also he has a front leg that looks like a roan sock in the summer and some gray on his face that looks like he tried to have a star. Right now with the heavy coat he has a browner look more so than black. My dad says he reminds him of a tiny percheron.
we dont have shetlands we have miniatures. but they are so much fun! wait i guess we have 1 shetland/mini cross. she is double registered.
we love our little ones. my daughters (6&7) ride the taller ones, since they shouldnt hold more than 10% of their body weight. but most of ours do pull a cart and WOW can they pull a lot of weight!
Ok so I got kicked by an American Shetland that i'm training in the face. I might have to give up riding because my parents don't want me to get hurt.
I'll still be able to do stuff with Shetties, but that's it....
