Ponies in Sweaters!

These ponies are so cute in their cardigans.

They are the two things Shetland is most famous for – so it’s perhaps surprising no one had the idea before.

Shetland ponies and Fair Isle knitwear are beloved across the world, so why not combine the two?

The result is two cosy-looking mares dressed in button-down Fair Isle jumpers to promote the Year of Natural Scotland.

I did google pit bulls in tutus and puppies in pajamas - and found lots of pictures of those! Try it - it's fun.
