Shetland pony-based activities in Batley, West Yorkshire Welcome to Shimmering Shetlands. She loves her ponies and loves to dress them up! Love the Barkers!
(14)
Shimmering Shetlands became what it is today because of one little girl called Hollie! Here we are, several years later hoping other children love it as much as she does! We are a family run business who love nothing more than to see children (and adults) enjoy being around our Shetland Ponies. At your session you will meet, Andy, Laura, Cheryl and Hollie (the little boss) who will introduce you t
o the gang! We have Marco, Charlotte, Chloe, Molly & Ginny and our cheeky Tilly. Come and enjoy making them all shimmer with fancy hair dos or simply enjoy grooming, walking and giving them cuddles. We can't wait to meet you!!
Good morning All,
We hope you are well and having a great summer.
We are busy here at SS, looking after our 6 ponies and 2 cats. As you can see Maisie is chilling out but Molly looks as though she is saying “what, more photos” 🤣🤣
We are also teaching our little one how to lead the ponies correctly, this will grow her confidence and maybe she will enter a show one day with one of the Shetlands and win a rosette!
Enjoy the rest of the summer ☀️
🐴🦄
☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️🐴🐴🦄🦄🐴🐴☀️☀️☀️☀️
We hope everyone is enjoying the sun and summer holidays!
All is well here at the Shimmering barn, our heard like not having mud to contend with and enjoy nibbling grass in the sun.
We hope you are all having a lovely Summer ☀️🌻
Today was our last Shetland session before we take a break. 🦄
We had a great bunch of girls coming to see us today.
Some did makeovers, some did pony walking - but they were all brilliant and all enjoyed meeting Charlotte, Chloe, Ginny, Marco, Molly and Tilly! 🥰
We're having a break over summer and there are no sessions scheduled for now - instead please keep an eye on our page for updates on what the ponies are up to. 🦄
Goood morning!
What a day ☀️☀️☀️🌞🌞🌞
Let’s reintroduce the Shimmering Shetlands as we haven’t done it for a while and our new followers won’t know who is who!
🐴 Molly (Black and White) who is a lovely girl, she like you to scratch her belly and she will scratch your back.
🐴Ginny (Ginger and White) she is a little sweetheart.
🐴Chloe (All black) loves an afternoon nap, she has a lay down and gives you a grunt when you say hello.
🐴Marco (Blue Roam or to us, black head and grey body), our little terror. He’s the cutest little Shetland there is but because he is only 4, he’s a little cheeky boy.
🦄Tilly (white pony) is our imposter, she isn’t a Shetland but loves to be pampered all the same. And last but not least,
🐴 Charlotte. Charlotte is a sweet girl and loves nothing more than a good groom. She loves it that much she sometimes falls asleep!
Oh and we can’t forget our stars of SS, our barn cats. We have Molly (Feline Molly came first) and Maisie. All our visitors love them and can usually be found on a straw bale, asleep 🐱
We will post some lovely photos and videos of the ponies over the summer, let’s see what antics they get up to 🤣

Guess what ………….
It was day one of Marcos’ training to become a Shimmering Shetland. We had a walk around his paddock as we would during a session. To say it was his first time he did a grand job! Keep your 👀 peeled for more updates on his training.
In the mean time he will watch and whinny whilst the others are being pampered. 🦄

Work being done behind the scenes.
New experiences being planned with a twist to launch in February. 🤫
Keep an eye on the page. 👀👀
PS the girls say hi. 🦄

The girls say Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all of our guests who we’ve met in 2023! 🧑🎄
We’ve hosted our last group of Christmas visitors today. A lovely set to finish the year on. 😍
We’re now closed for the rest of the year and through January too. Both the ponies and the big people need a rest! 🦄
We’ll be open again in February. 📆
Our sessions next year will have a slight difference to them and we’ll publish more details in due course. 👍
Merry Christmas from Molly, Ginny, Chloe, Charlotte, Tilly and Marco. 😍
Good evening pony people!
Sorry we have been quiet lately - we have been rushed off our feet!
Firstly, we had a poorly pony (Ginny) 😞who needed the vet to come out and see her last weekend as an emergency. Luckily in the end, after some injections and TLC, she was back on the mend. 🙌
Then, Christmas sessions have been keeping us and the ponies busy and we have just ONE more session left before Christmas, this Saturday the 23rd. 🎅
It's fully booked and we're looking forward to seeing some happy faces before Christmas! 🎅🎅
After the 23rd December, we're closed for the whole of January and won't be offering any sessions throughout. 😚
We'll be back open in February with a slight adjustment to what's on offer and we'll be looking forward to seeing some old and new faces then! 🤩
For now, have a Merry Christmas and we wish you the best time! 🥰🥰
All of our December pony sessions are booked up now! 🎄🎄
