Buttons is a Shetland Pony, about 36 inches high and born in 1984. He came with his friend Viking but he was much better able to fend for himself and has never been afraid of people nor of anything at all really (except cameras ~ it is really hard to get a good photograph of Buttons). In fact, he thinks he is still a stallion and he is so sure of himself that he takes it upon himself to guard all the mares in the field, regardless of size. At one time he was nick-named 'the rampant guineapig' because he used to herd the mares away from the gate when the owners went to get them. In spite of this he is also a very friendly little pony and very good with small children, but he hates to be called 'cute'. His tune, 'Cock of the North' sums him up beautifully.
