A moonwalking Shetland pony has become an internet phenomenon.
The video, an advert for mobile phone company Three, has been a hit on the television as well as online.
The dancing pony, otherwise known as Socks, throws some shapes, thanks to a little CGI help, on the cliffs of Eshaness, to “Everywhere” by Fleetwood Mac.
In the first weekend it had more than 1million views on YouTube.

It’s just a Hip Hop pony I made, I’m so bored. I think you’ll like it. #DancePonyDance #teammaherhorses bit.ly/YiC6hR#147
