0:01:02 > 0:01:05# Have you met My Pet and Me? #
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Today, we are in Yorkshire to meet Felix and Hugo.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18I'm surrounded by farms here
0:01:18 > 0:01:21and I think they live on this one here with their pet.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26I wonder what it could be? Let's go and find out, shall we?
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- Hello, Rory!- Hello! You must be gran.- Yes, that's right.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- I'm looking for Felix and Hugo. - They're on their way.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43- Ah, so they don't live here.- No, they don't.- But does their pet live here?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- He certainly does.- Ah, excellent.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Hello, everybody!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Oh, look, here they come now.
0:01:51 > 0:01:57- Hello, Felix. Hello, Hugo.- Hello! - And you must be mum and dad, hello.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02- Hello!- And who's this?- Cecily. - Oh, is that your sister?- Yeah.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07- We're going to see our pet, do you want to come?- Yes, please!
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Come on, then.
0:02:08 > 0:02:14- So, you still haven't told me what your pet is.- It's a pony.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18A pony, amazing! I love ponies. Can I have a shot of riding him?
0:02:18 > 0:02:24- No, you're too big.- I'm too big?! Well, where is it?- He's behind you.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- There's no pony there.- Look down.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Wow, look at this little guy!
0:02:32 > 0:02:37Oh, wow, I'm going to go and say hello.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- So, what's his name?- Jake.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Jake, that's a lovely name. Why is he so small?
0:02:43 > 0:02:49- Because he's a Shetland pony. - That's right, he's a Shetland pony.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Shetland ponies are one of the smallest breeds of pony.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56They're also one of the strongest for their size.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59They can pull something about twice their weight!
0:02:59 > 0:03:03They're named after the Shetland Isles in the north of Scotland,
0:03:03 > 0:03:07where they're originally from, long before Jake was born.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- How old is Jake?- 14 years. - 14, oh, wow.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Look at his dark brown coat, isn't it nice?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Shetland ponies have short legs and long,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20shaggy coats that change thickness depending on the season.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Shetland ponies are interesting for all sorts of reasons.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Ferne, can you give us some pony facts?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Of course, Rory!
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Shetland ponies eat grass and other plants
0:03:33 > 0:03:36and they love apples as a special treat.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Some Shetland ponies grow a double coat in winter to help
0:03:41 > 0:03:44protect them from the rain and snow.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52Some Shetland ponies love to roll in the sand. What fun!
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Shetland ponies come in lots of different colours.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Brown, beige, black, grey, and a mix of colours.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10We all love our pets and it's important to show them just how much.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14We can do that by caring for them and making them very happy.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17How do you care for Jake, Felix?
0:04:17 > 0:04:21I brush him, I clean out his stable,
0:04:21 > 0:04:25I feed him, I give him water.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27That all sounds very important,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30shall we do some of it now?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33So, how often do you brush him?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Every day before he goes out to ride.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Oh, so he looks nice and clean and tidy before you go for a ride?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Ponies love being brushed and groomed
0:04:44 > 0:04:47and it's a great way to bond with your pet as well.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49It keeps them looking good,
0:04:49 > 0:04:53and nice and clean and healthy. It's very good for their skin.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Well, I think Jake is looking fantastic. What do we need to do now?
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- Clean out his stable. - Brilliant, let's do it then.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04What do we need to do first?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06First, we need to clean up the poo
0:05:06 > 0:05:10and to do that, we need to use these rakes.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11OK.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36- Right. That looks good, what now? - Hang up the bag of food.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45Very heavy, well done. Let me give you a hand. OK.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- There you go. What do you think, will Jake like that?- Yes.
0:05:50 > 0:05:56He likes his food, doesn't he? Some water, lovely.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- I think we should get Jake in to see if he likes it.- Yeah, we should.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Let's go and get him, come on.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- I think he likes it.- Me too, he seems very happy, doesn't he?- Yeah.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19What do we do after we've cleaned out our pets' mucky beds?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Wash our hands.- That's right, let's go and do it.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30Look at Jake over there, he's really enjoying his food. What is he eating?
0:06:30 > 0:06:37- Grass.- Mmm, grass.- Plants.- Plants as well. That's called forage, isn't it?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Yeah.- What else do you give him to eat?- Dry food.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44That sounds perfect and with this apple as well, as a treat,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- that's the perfect balanced diet, isn't it?- Yes.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52- Shall we see if he wants an apple now?- Yes.- Right, let's call him over.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57- Jake!- Jake, come and get your food. - Jake, come and get some apple.
0:06:59 > 0:07:05- Come on. Jake, come on. Good boy.- Jake!
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Playing with your pet and giving them
0:07:14 > 0:07:17plenty of exercise is really important.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22I can't wait to see Jake showing off his skills in this pony playground.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25And look! Auntie Charley's giving a helping hand.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Wow, Jake's looking very smart.
0:07:27 > 0:07:34You are too, Hugo. That's it, Jake, are you ready? Oh, one! Number two...
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Oh, did it!
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Well done, Jake. All three, no problem.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Yeah, look at that.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- What do you think his favourite is, Hugo?- The poles.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57The poles.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Oh, he's great at that. Easy. Easy for Jake.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Yes, keep trotting, Jake, that's brilliant.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Excellent, Hugo.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Horses and ponies need a paddock just like this one to get
0:08:22 > 0:08:27plenty of exercise with other horses as often as possible.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30That's excellent, Hugo. Good work.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Oh-ho, Jake! He-he!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Well done, Hugo. I'm coming to get you.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Well done, Jake, you'll be great at the pony show.- Pony show?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- You're going to a pony show? Can I come?- Yes.- Oh, brilliant.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55- Will I just wear these clothes? - No, it's a fancy dress.- Fancy dress!
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- What are we going to wear?- It's a surprise.- Oh, OK.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Well, let's go and get ready then.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Well, howdy, partners. What do you think?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Good.- Good?! You mean fantastic!
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Well, I think cowboys are the perfect outfits for riding on horses,
0:09:16 > 0:09:21aren't they? I'm only sad that I'm just too big to ride on Jake.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- You can ride on the bigger horses. - Yes! That's great.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Well, come on, let's go.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36This is great fun, I love being dressed up as a cowboy.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- It looks like Jake's having loads of fun as well, doesn't it?- Yes.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45Now, if Jake could do anything or go anywhere, what do you think he'd do?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Erm...
0:09:50 > 0:09:53If my pet could go anywhere,
0:09:53 > 0:09:57he would go to Mars in a black flying saucer.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01So that no-one could see a pony flying a spaceship.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Jake would wear a space suit for horses
0:10:05 > 0:10:09and play catch with Pluto, the dwarf star.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- This show is great, isn't it?- Yes, and there's lots of people.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35And they're in all sorts of different costumes!
0:10:35 > 0:10:37We'd better go and get ready
0:10:37 > 0:10:41because the competition's about to begin. Come on.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51So, all you've got to do is walk round the ring
0:10:51 > 0:10:55and the judges will give you points, OK? Do you think you can do that?
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Yes.- OK, all the best. You can do it, Jake! Off you go.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12They're doing very well.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Felix is doing a great job on Jake.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24Oh, here come the other riders. Some great costumes out there.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Under the sea?
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Is that a princess riding a pony with a baby on the back?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Everyone's looking fantastic. I wonder who's going to win.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43The winners of the fancy dress are Wills and Kate.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46APPLAUSE
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Wow! Hugo, Felix and Jake got fourth place. Good job, guys.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55There we go.
0:12:01 > 0:12:07Well done, that was amazing! Here's a treat for you, Jake. Fourth place!
0:12:07 > 0:12:12Your rosettes look fantastic. Very impressive, boys.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Thank you very much for a fantastic day.
0:12:15 > 0:12:21I've learned so much about how to look after Jake, it's been brilliant.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24My Pet and Me!
0:12:28 > 0:12:33- Hello, Ferne!- Hi, Rory!- Hi guys. - How was your day?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36It was amazing, wait till I tell you all about it.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Today, I met Felix and Hugo and the Shetland pony, Jake.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44Felix showed me how to brush him, then we cleaned out where he sleeps.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47We took Jake out to the field and watched him forage.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51We went riding round the paddock. Then, we dressed up as cowboys
0:12:51 > 0:12:53and went for a ride along the lane,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55then to the pony show.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59That sounds wonderful, and you made some great friends.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Yeah, pets are great.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Before you touch any animal,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05make sure it's OK with the owner first.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08That's right, but, one pet you can play with is ours!
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Go onto the CBeebies website and play the My Pet and Me game.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17We've had a fantastic day. We just love meeting you and your pets.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25# Today we met a lovely pet
0:13:25 > 0:13:28# We see how much you care for them
0:13:28 > 0:13:31# Thank you so much for sharing them
0:13:31 > 0:13:37# Time for us to just remind you
0:13:37 > 0:13:40# After you've played with your pet
0:13:40 > 0:13:43# Wash your hands, don't forget!
0:13:43 > 0:13:46# It doesn't matter what pet you've got
0:13:46 > 0:13:49# You might have one, you might not
0:13:49 > 0:13:52# It's still fun finding out...
0:13:52 > 0:13:56# What having a pet is all about
0:13:56 > 0:13:58# My pet, my pet and me
0:13:58 > 0:14:02# My pet, my pet and me
0:14:02 > 0:14:03# My pet, my pet and me
0:14:03 > 0:14:06# Come back and see My Pet and Me. #
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Bye!
