We’ve seen the rabbit island, the cat island and now it’s the ponies turn to show us their island of Foula in Britain, which has more fairy tale-like miniature ponies than human inhabitants.

It’s never about the islands people are interested about but the animals who live there and on this one hundreds of stuffed ponies await for your arrival.

With only 30 people there, this place is a paradise on Earth for horse lovers or children who want to play with a real pony. The ponies have heavy coats, short legs, and are considered intelligent. They are so magically-unbelievably-darn-cute, you’ll start wondering whether you’re dreaming or not.

Before you start packing your suitcase, scroll down and take a look at the collection we’ve made for this pony paradise. It may look abandoned at first place, but after seeing the thousand ponies running around, it will make no difference if the place looks old and abandoned at all!

“Sultan” the Pit Pony is a stunning raised-earth horse sculpture that is over 200 meters long.

The sculpture sits in Caerphilly, South Wales. It was designed by Welsh artist Mick Petts to serve as a reminder of the Industrial Revolution that changed Britain, and the world, forever.

The sculpture was constructed from stone, earth, and 60,000 tons of coal shale. The horse was named “Sultan” after a well-loved pit pony that hauled coal in the local mines.
