What kind of exercise do Shetland ponies need?
Horses are made to amble around all day and run very fast very quickly, they are prey/herd animals. But they are constantly on the move. So, if your horse is in a confined area, like a stall or a paddock, he/she needs to be turned out in a pasture or large arena for at least a half hour a day, the longer, the better.
Do Shetland ponies copy what other animals do For example if they are raised with dogs do they act like dogs if they are raised by horses do they act like horses?
No, they do not exactly act the same. They act as their own breed. Though there was one shetland pony who grew up with dogs and he fetched sticks, played with the other dogs and rolled over to have his tummy tickled. In a way Shetlands can act the same as dogs, but only a bit ANSWER 2 Shetland ponies are very much like two year humans. Their favorite concepts are "no" and "mine". They are notorioulsy stubborn. They LOVE attention in any form. However, no matter what their behavior, a shetland is still a horse. The pony will still eat hay, and roll in the dirt to shed hair and keep flies away. Shetlands need their hooves trimmed regularly and if they over-eat new grass, they tend to founder. So even if they gain attention and can distract their master from a task by behaving like a dog, they may adopt whatever behavior works for them. However, they still have very "horsey" behaviors.
Why should ponies not be overfed?
It's not good for horses to overeat either but for ponies the 'margin of error' is much smaller. Ponies tend to be more susceptable to laminitis (founder). They are smaller and need less food but in their heads, they think they're a Clydesdale and they could eat themselves to death if not watched closely. For reasons not fully understood, horses that carry a lot of weight on their front-ends tend to founder more. So if your horse carries extra weight in his neck and front-end be careful how long he spends in large pastures with lots of grass.
