SHETLAND IN GRAZING POSITION This Shetland is a fully grown animal although the height at the shoulders is only 33% inches. At the time the animal was purchased, in June, 1902, in Scotland, through the kindness of Professor J. Cossar Ewart of the University of Edinburgh, it was regarded as the most diminu- tive Shetland pony which had been bred in Great ...Britain. Somewhat smaller Shetlands have since been produced by selection and in-breeding. The modern Shetland pony has been produced by careful selection and breeding of a race of domestic or half wild horses originally dwarfed by unfavorable surroundings, inhabiting the bleak and barren Shet- land Islands, with their cold, damp climate and restricted range. The Percheron, on the other hand, bred to the plow and cart in the rich and fertile lands of Normandy, has been improved by favorable conditions and by selection for size and strength, and is the largest of the domestic breeds of horses; the Shetland being the smallest.
