It depends on where your backyard is. If you live in the middle of New York City, the answer is no. If you live in a rural area and have a very large backyard it may be ok if the neighborhood is zoned for this type of animal.
Before buying or moving a pony that you already have, check with your local zoning plans and regulations. Also, keep in mind how close your closest neighbors are. Some neighbors would not have a problem with a pony. Others can be a nightmare waiting to happen. Best to do your homework on the subject first, before you move your pony in.
You can if you have enough space. You need at least and acre per horse, plus fresh water available for the horse at all times, and some shelter: maybe in the form of a few hedges in a corner, or a lean-to shed or stable.
an averange horse needs 50M2 and a shetland needs much less. So if your garden is 30M2 yes.
yes if you have a lot of space in your back garden but if you dont have a lot of space then no because it would be cruel on the pony
It is legal and safe to keep a Shetland pony in your back yard. As long as there is enough space for it to walk around in and you take proper care of it, the pony should be fine.
It wouldn't be the wisest thing to do! Ponys like large open areas and enjoy company of other ponys.
The ability to keep a horse in your backyard is determined by local zoning laws. You should contact your local agricultural association for more information. Many places have laws forbidding the keeping of livestock in backyards.
yes it is aslong as it has a sable and it out everyday

I want to know the answer too ...the serial "two broke girls" features keeping a horse in their backyard !!
Depending on how big your backyard is, whether it's a suburban lot or a large acreage, perhaps. But horses like companionship, and do better with one or two other horses or ponies to socialize with. Often the rule of thumb for horses is to have one horse per 3 acres, no less.

I would say no. Do you want your horse stopping on rocks?
If Live in the uk then the boomer supertramp
I would most likely keep a Phoenix in my backyard

Contact your local animal control officer and/or SPCA.
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.
