LONDON -- There's only one thing in this world more adorable than a Shetland pony, and that's a Shetland pony wearing a Christmas onesie.

The snug four-legged garment in the photos below has been dubbed a "foursie" by designers at Ascot Racecourse. The pint-sized model is a Shetland pony named Daffy.

Here are some more important photos of Daffy modelling the foursie.

“In winter I always worry about Daffy getting chilly as he likes to spend so much time out of his stable," owner and Animal Trainer Jackie Rowberry was quoted as saying in an emailed press release .

"I love the fact that Ascot has created a special foursie for Daffy so that he can get into the Christmas spirit. He’s loved all the attention and is quite the envy among his stable buddies!”

Currently Daffy's foursie is a tailor-made one-off (designed by Ascot to celebrate their Christmas Racing Weekend), but we're pretty sure all the ponies are going to want one now.
