Same age as any horse. It's safest to breed equines at age four, after they've fully developed. I've heard of people breeding fillies as young as two. This is dangerous because the horse is not fully developed and may be irrevocably damaged in the back and hips by the weight of the foal.

Shetlands and Miniatures are two different breeds. But the oldest breed-able age for a horse should be about 14-16 years old, any foalings after that can cause undue stress upon the mare.
