The Shetland ponies get to make their own choices.  I think that's important.

I opened up a bit more of the track for the Shetland ponies.  There was a bit of a dash for the grass.  Lickety-split!

Where are half of my Shetland ponies?  Oh yes, sunning themselves in the containers.  Happy days!

An evening spent outside freezing my bits off, in a dressing gown and wellies standing on the compost heap while taking photos of the Northern Lights.

(I hope you think it was worth it)

I spent my morning trying to convince a Shetland pony to go inside a container because he might be glad he knows how to and its there.

I think we've finally cracked it. Albie walks into the container and spends his day there with his friends.  Huzzah!

I opened up a bit more of the track for the Shetland ponies as they need more grass.  Winter is coming.....

Little Shetland ponies fast asleep in the Shetland autumn sunshine.  Bliss and perfect peace.

A very rare bird turns up in Shetland. I didn't see it, but I did see nearly 200 bird-watchers looking for it.

Now creating red lights for the containers.   Did you know I am Michael Faradays 5x great niece? 

I am not going to say this is Shetland's Red Light District!

Feeding carrots when you don't want 8 Shetland ponies to "help".  Diversionary tactics
