Shetland ponies, like all equine typically can only have one foal at a time, however they can have twins and triplets. Multiple births in equines are quite rare and can cause problems with both the mare and the foals.

How many ponies can a horse have?
I think you may be confusing the term "pony" with the term for a baby horse which is a "foal". A pony is actually an entirely different subspecies of equine that is typically smaller than a horse. The gestation length for a horse is 11months, so mathematically a horse can give birth once a year after they have reached puberty which is around 2 years old. They usually are too old to carry a foal when they have reached the age of 20. So, mathematically a horse could have around 18 foals during her lifetime. However, most mares that are used only for breeding have around 10 - 15 foals during their life.
When do ponys go into heat?

How does horses act in a group?
Horses are naturally herd animals, so often enjoy having company. However, some horses have different personalities and prefer being separate from others. But normally horses (especislly wild horses) will establish herd "rankings" that will be stuck to until a growing colt or a rivalling stallion threatens to take over. Male foals will normally have to make their own way from the herd once they are old enough to breed, whereas the females will stay on to later have their own foals.
