The Shetland Pony comes from the rugged Shetland Islands off Scotland and is, despite its small size, one of the strongest horses relative to body weight. Laminitis, EMS, and obesity are the most common health topics, as the breed tends to gain weight easily. AnimalCoach can advise you on pasture management and hoof health.
