A shetland is a very good jumper but it all depends on the pony some can jump up to 2"3 and some can't go past 18 Inch (this is just as a safe hight you can jump them higher but if you do they could hurt themselves if they trip up...)
No, absolutely not. Shetland Sheepdogs generally have a height of about 13-16 inches, whereas Shetland Ponies have a height of between 28 and 42 inches.
No. They have short legs that it is hard for them to jump. Rather a small horse to begin to learn to jump.
