Well this will depend on how you plan to keep the pony. If you put it on a drylot you can use a 40'-60' round pen with a run in. If you use a pasture I would recommend 1- 1.5 acres and a run in.

Is a half an acher big enogh for a Shetland pony?

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.

Can i leave my shetland pony on its own in a field?

No, you most certainly cannot. If you have chosen to buy a Shetland pony I'm guessing that's because they're easier to look after and cheaper. Is that right? If you don't keep your pony on a livery you need a few dogs at least or another pony for company. Ponies can get depressed from not seeing other horses. If you give them lots of attention then yes it makes them happier but are you going to be there all day? My advice is to put a friendly native pony in with her/him for company. Look for a cheap Dartmoor/Exmoor/New forest/Welsh pony that doesn't need shoeing. If you have your own land it shouldn't be too pricey. You COULD put your Shetland in with another Shetland but I don't think this is the best of plan as Shetlands can sometimes be a bit feisty with each other. This is my opinion. We run a livery. I come from a very horsey family.

Is North Sea oil owned by the shetland islands?

To answer this question you need to do some research into the history of Udal Law in Shetland. The Shetland and Orkney Udal Law group (SOUL) can be found on the Internet and highlights the main points of the argument. Basically, although Shetland and Orkney are acknowledged as being under Scottish rule since the annexation, the annexation was not entirely legal. Shetland and Orkney were pledged as part of a dowry payment in 1468/9 with the understanding that sovereignty would not be handed over and the islands would be redeemed at a later date when the money could be raised. The Scottish Crown was fly - even though the Danish/Norwegian Crown made several attempts to regain control of Shetland and Orkney, the Scottish Crown refused. Shetland was increasingly brought under Scottish rule and the issue of sovereignty was never fully addressed. Under Udal law, outright ownership of land included the seabed - so if Shetland is still legally Scandinavian and Udal law has never been completely replaced, then the seabed around Shetland belongs to Shetland and not to Scotland. North sea oil around the Shetland basin therefore belongs to Shetland and the Scottish Crown is well aware of this. To openly address the issue of Shetland's sovereignty is thus to make this public knowledge...and the British parliament wouldn't want that...now would they? AW
