Well this will depend on how you plan to keep the pony. If you put it on a drylot you can use a 40'-60' round pen with a run in. If you use a pasture I would recommend 1- 1.5 acres and a run in.

∙ 11y agoThe amount of land you'll need will vary depending on several factors, including how you intend to keep the pony and local laws. If you want to let your pony graze during the day then you'll need about an acre of grazing land (more is better) on top of space for a shelter and storage for feed, tack, etc. If however you would prefer to keep your pony off grass then a 'drylot' system would work well and the pony would only need a 100 foot long by 40 to 70 foot wide dirt paddock to run in. This could be attached to a run in shed or a stable. If the pony is kept on a drylot system then it will need hay provided around the clock either in a round bale or a slow feeder system.

Is a half an acher big enogh for a Shetland pony?
A half acre can be big enough for a single Shetland but more land would be better. Especially if the pony would be grazing on the land, if you do place a Shetland on the half acre to graze you'll need to provide supplemental hay.

How much land do I need to have to keep a miniature pony?
well for a mini or shetland you don't need much room you can keep them on a quarter of an acre as long as you have the time to ride/exercise it etc they are just like a normal horse just a lot smaller so they still need hay and a shelter over here it is about $10 in Adelaide it might be different were you are . for a shetland or a mini you will also have to take it to get its hooves trimmed and worming i do that about 4 times a year its about $10 rugs are $30 dollars halters are five dollars leads are $10 then there is tack i got all my tack for $240 dollars at saddle world. trimming is about $20 every 8 weeks it all ads up to $680 dollars a year! good luck

Keep a steady supply of water and some kind of tasty hay, keep a shelter nice and dry for them, and be nice to them. Then they won't want to run away.

Can i leave my shetland pony on its own in a field?
No, you most certainly cannot. If you have chosen to buy a Shetland pony I'm guessing that's because they're easier to look after and cheaper. Is that right? If you don't keep your pony on a livery you need a few dogs at least or another pony for company. Ponies can get depressed from not seeing other horses. If you give them lots of attention then yes it makes them happier but are you going to be there all day? My advice is to put a friendly native pony in with her/him for company. Look for a cheap Dartmoor/Exmoor/New forest/Welsh pony that doesn't need shoeing. If you have your own land it shouldn't be too pricey. You COULD put your Shetland in with another Shetland but I don't think this is the best of plan as Shetlands can sometimes be a bit feisty with each other. This is my opinion. We run a livery. I come from a very horsey family.
