The Shetland is a British pony breed native from the Shetland Islands in the North of Scotland. It is one of the smallest pony in the world, a peculiarity which it owes to its adaptation to the rigorous biotope of its original island. The Shetland was very successful in the 1850s thanks to its reduced size, which allowed it to squeeze into the narrow mining galleries to carry coal or metals. With the development of pony riding, it became a recreational and educational animal for children, which allow it to spread around world.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo

Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years.
