There is no such thing as a 'miniature Shetland' pony. You have either a Miniature horse or a Shetland pony. Mini's should never be ridden by anyone ever, they have fragile spines that can be hurt by direct weight. They can however pull a small pony cart with one or two adults in it. Shetlands are a breed of small pony that are very strong and make a great first pony for a kid. They can also pull a cart if trained correctly.
Even though the cart is pulling on the horse with the same force that the horse is pulling on the cart, the weight of the horse, the way it runs, versus the way wheels move, all add up to make the sum of forces on the system move in the direction of the horse.
The best type of horse to have as a pet depends on what you want to do with the horse. If you simply want a companion animal that can maybe pull a small cart, then a miniature horse, Shetland pony, or another breed of small pony is usually the best and most economical. If you want something that can be ridden then a medium sized pony on upwards to large draft horses can fill this role.

Any equine, including donkeys and mules, can pull their own weight (cart n harness animals) and carry 20% of their own body weight. So if your mini is 300 lbs he can 60lbs (that includes tack as well). Donkeys are reputed to being a bit stronger than horses, but the standard rule of thumb is they can pull how much they weight and they can ride 20% of what they weigh.
normally people in a show make the horses head high but neck arched but horse and cart , horses heads have to be high to pull the cart
