Duble & Ditto recreating their own version of Disney’s famous Lady & The Tramp spaghetti scene… 🍝❤️

Only, being Shetlands, they’ve swapped the spaghetti for a tasty piece of willow! 🌿🐴

I don’t think Duble was planning on sharing, but Ditto clearly had other ideas! 😂

When we brought Ditto for me , it was also with Duble in mind 🤍 We wanted him to have his own little friend (we brought Ditto before we were offered the chance to buy Calvados).

So seeing these two happily giving each other scratches out in the field makes me smile .

It’s so important that ponies have friends and time to just be ponies 💫

Spring is coming ❤️

When the rising 2-year-old has clearly been listening to his Uncles 💨

Ditto decided to test out his “future racing career” with a few very serious zoomies when he came in yesterday.

He’s got years before he can even think about racing — but that doesn’t mean he can’t play a little game of “Let’s Pretend I’m a Racing Shetland.”

The cutest 2-year-old ever ❤️

Ava & Calvados had their first race in Hong Kong today.
Racing super competitively and finishing a brilliant 2nd.

So proud of them both.
Calvados for giving it absolutely everything while looking after Ava like the perfect gentleman he is , I couldn’t love this pony more.
And Ava for riding like she stole it 🔥 giving Calvados a ride he clearly loved.

Gutted I’m not there to hug them both right now.
Missing them all so much 💔

While it’s still the middle of the night for us, over in Hong Kong the alarm clocks are ringing as show day has arrived — and that means it’s race day .

Wishing all the Shetland Pony Grand National ponies & jockeys the best of luck and a special extra good luck to our Calvados & Ava.

Calvados and Ava have worked so hard and grown in confidence, this is a special moment for them. Ride with a smile, have fun, and make memories you’ll never forget.

Good luck to you all — I will be cheering you on from home.

Day 3 – Hong Kong 🇭🇰
With The Shetland Pony Grand National.

As always starts with breakfast and a sunny walk out with friends.

This afternoon the ponies and jockeys headed into the main arena for their arena familiarisation — helping both settle, take in the jumps, lights, and give the show team a look at setting the course and their lights.

Calvados was an absolute little star, just like all his friends — little professionals ⭐️

Back to the stable for sloppy mash (which of course had to be tipped on the floor first!).

The show starts tomorrow… the excitement is real.
