What to say about Pippin. When Pippin was dropped off he was called Hank the Tank. Not the right name we thought, he much too good looking to be a Hank, so we thought about it and Pippin just came to mind. It's the perfect name for him. Despite his size, Pippin is likely to be calling the shots whenever he is in a group of horses or even humans. His stunning brown color and distinctive crescent moon marking on his head make him hard to forget. He can be impulsive at times but can also be a gentle pony for young children. He is incrediably strong, able to handle riders up to 120 pounds. Pippin has become a favorite with my young riders. He is always carefuol when they are being led and seems to know to take it slow with timid riders. His size make him great for 3 to 5 year old riders.
His mannerisms make him hard to resist and most people fall in love with him. It's hard to keep a straight face at times when he needs discipline and many times we find ourselves smiling after one of his antics. The typical Shetland pony.
