With a bell being clanged in their ears, kids all armed with "Specsaver" balloons, the brass band, you name it they meeted and greeted down the street in the parade like the Queen herself. Those two ponies genuinely like children, Whiffy held up the whole parade as she was hell bent on stopping and speaking to every single child en route. Not a flicker from either of them, I am so proud of them both.
I do get cross when folk trot out the old line about Shetland ponies being bad tempered and vicious....it's the same as the dangerous dog debate.
