The US Pony Racing Shetland Team puts on Shetland pony flat and steeplechase racing exhibitions as entertainment for large venues. Many of the ponies in these exhibitions are owned by US Pony Racing, but some are privately owned. All pony and rider combinations have been pre-screened as a duo in order to ensure the mount and rider will be safe on the course. Riders in the Shetland divisions are typically between 8 and 12 years old.
