That is a matter of oppinion. Of course the full name of the Shetland is the Shetland Pony. A pony is any horse under 14 hands. This could be just about any breed, wheras, the shetland is just one breed.
A Shetland pony's nostrils are in proportion to its face, so although they have smaller nostrils than, say, a shire horse, nostrils on a Shetland pony do not usually look particularly small for that pony. I have two miniature Shetland ponies, and from memory I would say their nostrils are about 1-2 inches big.
I don't know but the Shetland pony is named after the Shetland island
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.
