Jane, from Sheffield, South Yorks, believes the pony must have been smiling because he thought he was getting "something to eat".

Jane, who works as a medical receptionist, said: "My husband was cycling and I was back up in the camper van.

"I've always wanted a picture of a Shetland pony so when I saw it, I went over to the field and took pictures of it.

"It came towards me and it was as if he was trying to put his nose on my phone.
