What reading level is The Shetland Pony book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is, no doubt, greatly aggravated by the extreme and ex- cessive fatness of most ponies in the ring ; but it points to a real defect also. Every good horse ought to suggest to the imagina- tion the general structure of his bony frame- work ; and it ought scarcely to be possible to conceal this by any reasonable degree of condition, or to bring about, in a horse, a general appearance of bonelessness such as might be proper to the carcase of a perfectly fattened Aberdeen - Angus bullock. Part...ly from the practice of showing ponies much too fat, and partly also from the fact that breeders have neglected to seek for strength 77 The Shetland Pony.
of frame as distinct from mere thickness of bones, the Shetland pony in the showyard has undergone some little deterioration in this respect. It should not be forgotten by breeders or judges that a pony whose shoulders, hips, and stifles are not promi- nent in his appearance, is either defective in structure or very improperly overfed.
It may well be the case that a rather too exclusive use of the excellent "Londonderry" strain of ponies requires now to be corrected by a careful introduction of new blood, and that it is desirable to make use for that pur- pose of active, large-framed, vigorous mares of other Island strains.
