There is no such thing as a 'miniature Shetland' pony. You have either a Miniature horse or a Shetland pony. Mini's should never be ridden by anyone ever, they have fragile spines that can be hurt by direct weight. They can however pull a small pony cart with one or two adults in it. Shetlands are a breed of small pony that are very strong and make a great first pony for a kid. They can also pull a cart if trained correctly.
A Shetland pony is a very small pony and will quickly be out grown by an 11 year old, so unless you have other very young children who could ride it, or teach it to pull a cart, then I would suggest moving up to a small horse or large pony.
