Albert and Ernie are Shetland ponies who know how to enjoy a good pampering courtesy of their human, Emma Massingale. They are six and seven years old, with Albert being a rescued horse and Ernie a miniature.
These ponies were originally bred for tough work but these two don’t look like they’ve put in a hard day’s work ever.
And they have the gall to demand a spa day!
Shetland ponies have roamed the hills and moors of Shetland for 4,000 years at least. This hardy breed is unique to the land and all those years have turned them in to tough little haulers who found work in British coal mines during the 19th century. They could pass through low, underground tunnels hauling huge loads of coal.
Shetlands are mainly used for attraction today. Kids ride them during shows and even adults can get away with riding one for pleasure.
But Albert and Ernie? Well Emma’s got them wrapped in towels, there’s shampoo ready, and the parlor is open. Now I don’t know about you but the past year’s drama has me craving for a good massage…
Albert and Ernie get their manes rolled and curled, and there’s even a mirror set up just for them. Might as well be vain while they’re at it, right?
And the viewers are loving it!
“This made me smile so much this morning….. now I just need to convince my mare that a spa day would be fun!”

It’s incredible to think that Emma was able to pull this off. Either she’s trained them well or those ponies are exceptionally well behaved and enjoying the special treatment.
Those golden locks are done so Emma whips out a hairdryer to make sure those locks glisten under the sun. How eighties rock star are those pony locks?
Albert and Ernie get to lay down now with hot stones evenly spread across their broad bodies, and once done, how about nail polish? Or… hoof polish? Whatever, so long as they get to be on their backs and enjoy the sun!
With towels under their heads, the ponies go for mud masks to remove all the impurities on their faces. When that’s done, there’s a bubbly pool waiting to make sure they stay as relaxed as can be.

“It’s beautiful how they trust you completely, to lay on their backs and to have face mask treatment! Gorgeous little video! 😊🤗😘🥰🐴😊😘”
We all want to be these ponies right now.
Do you think they ate those cucumber strips on their eyes?
Now that they’ve been pampered, they can sleep all day. Not unless it’s one of those spas that offer you a drink of your choice. Some would go for tea, others wine, while most just ask for water.
Albert and Ernie probably asked for a cocktail. Like a mule.
