Shetland ponies originated in the Shetland Islands, located north east of mainland Scotland. Small horses have been kept on the Shetland Isles since the Bronze Age. were first used for pulling carts, carrying peat, coal and other items, and plowing farm land. Then, as the Industrial Revolution increased the need for coal in the middle of the 19th century, thousands of Shetland ponies traveled to mainland Britain to be pit ponies, working underground hauling coal, often for their entire, often short, lives. Coal mines in the eastern United States also imported some of these animals. The last pony mine in the United States closed in 1971.
