The 12 days of Christmas. 12 equine products I couldn't live without. Number 8...

On the 8th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, 8 equine products I (Ceaser) couldn't live without!

Dance Pony Dance!

When I started this blog I originally wanted it to be some equine products I couldn't live without, but then I remembered the Plucky Pony and how he filled our television screens with fun and laughter. After seeing his Christmas appearance last week I realised I couldn't leave him out. 2013 television wouldn't have been the same without him!

In March I received a lovely parcel in the post containing a chocolate horseshoe and a small bucket full of a variety of sweets.

Originally I had no idea who the very thoughtful parcel had been sent by. All I knew was, a company had emailed me and asked for a postal address so they could send me a gift.

As I eagerly unwrapped the parcel I opened it to find a gorgeous handcrafted chocolate horseshoe, along with a bucket of goodies that didn't last long once opened.

Included in the parcel was a postcard of a Shetland pony and on the back it said: "This plucky little pony can't wait to show you what he can do. On March 1st he'll do just that. #DancePonyDance." There's nothing like being secretive.

Eager to find out more I googled the hashtag #DancePonyDance to realise it was the mobile phone company, Three UK, that had sent the parcel and they were sending them to all journalists and equestrian bloggers.

Don't forget, type #DancePonyDance in to Twitter or Google to find out what this plucky did on our television screens! 

Have you spotted his Christmas advert yet?

#DancePonyDance From Three UK - What can he do?

There we have it, the UK's very first moonwalking Shetland Pony!

Three UK sent a number of equine journalists and bloggers lots of goodies earlier this week to let them know a bout new ad campaign that was set to be released on 1st March. None of us had any idea what was going to be revealed, all we knew was a "plucky pony" wanted to show us what he can do!

And boy didn't he do that.....?

I wonder how many young girls are badgering their daddies for a dancing pony now? Really though, who could blame them?

The advert was filmed entirely in the Shetlands and starred a real pony named, Socks. Socks dances to the beat of Fleetwood Mac's 'Everywhere' and lucky for him, is a real cutie!

Three UK's new advert campaign is set to build on Three's appreciation for the country's love of sharing, particularly when it comes to cute animal pictures.

The 17-day campaign launched tonight during Coronation Street and features a combination of 60 and 30 second versions.

To encourage the general public to get involved and inspire the act of sharing even further, a web-based app hosted by YouTube, ponymixer.com has been created which encourages people to join the fun and create their own customised dancing Socks.

If you loved what this plucky pony, Socks can do, then why not go and create your own.

With a scrape of a hoof and a flick of his Rod Stewart-esqu mane, Socks broke into an effortless moonwalk across a picturesque Scottish field and the whole of the country immediately undoubtedly fell in love with him.

Surely this is the first pony that can #DancePonyDance ?
