• It seems like most of the responses above are written by shetland pony riders. It means that these people (the pony riders) are lowly, under-achievers who cannot ride with the "big boys". I work in an area where the town cannot afford to hire anyone with actual experience, so everyone working for the town has no experience and no clue how to really achieve what is necessary. They're all riding shetland ponies...

• Hi! Yes. When I was 3 years old my father gave me a Shetland pony. I had it until I was 12, but couldn't ride it after I was about 6 or 7. I was too big, by then... He was a wonderful pet and I thought I was the biggest deal ever! }:>

• Shetland ponies are short. They needed to shoot low so the bullets didn't just whiz over their heads.

• He's making the point that you have to aim at where they are, & since they're on ponies, you need to aim lower if you plan to hit any. I love Lewis Grizzard!!! Have you gotten in to any of his other books? He is one of the funniest writers I have ever found!!!

• Satire. It is hilarious. It must be a very funny book. Think of the image of cowboys riding those little ponies they pose kids on at carnivals. Fantastic title. Pax-C

• Because Shetland ponies are smaller/shorter than horses?
