Meet Socks, the English Shetland Pony from the Benston Stud farm on Shetland, who has taken the world by storm in the new sixty second ad for UK broadband provider Three. With almost five and a half million views on YouTube, the stallion really did knock the socks off viewers with his moonwalk routine which he performs to the famous 1980's Fleetwood Mac hit 'Everywhere' on the cliffs of Eshaness on the islands. Whilst you may not believe it, Socks was trained how to do the moonwalk in under two weeks by trainer Elaine Tait who said he learnt quickly with the incentive of carrots. He was treated on set, with his own hair stylist who fitted him with hair extensions and attached forty clips to his mane. His owner, Mari Williamson, claimed he "loved the attention".
The ad was filmed by award-winning filmmaker, Dougal Wilson, famed for his festive ads for the UK-based department store John Lewis.
