Gabe Bush from Louisiana, USA, decided to arrange a wedding for his beloved Shetland pony so she can get married before having future offspring.

The young boy was adamant that Butterball should have a proper ceremony, complete with music, cake, tutus and bow-ties, after discovering his grandfather planned to breed her with fellow Shetland, Mr. Big Stuff.

Gabe told CNN: ''My mom taught me how you gotta get married before you have babies.''

According to the news site, Gabe's grandfather Richard Logan Senior - a local minister - officiated the ceremony.
