Hi Wendy, Yes, it’s strange, but they do seem to have developed a mutual respect. Coco the Shetland tup respects the Highland pony’s superior strength and size. And the Highland respects his horns – which is a shrewd move!!!
Good call! Our lovely Shetland tup Coco certainly has great horns for backscratching 🙂 But they’re not so great when they catch your knee while he jostles to get fed! I have the bruises to prove it…
