(11.2 hands for American Shetlands) Shetland ponies have heavy coats, short legs and are considered quite intelligent. They are a very strong breed of pony, used for riding, driving, and pack purposes.
These ponies will grow a thick winter coat which will turn into a silky, lighter version in the summer. Their coat can be of any colour but never spotted. American Shetlands have different breed characteristics.
Since then, US and Canadian breeders have produced a new Shetland pony called the American Shetland. It has little resemblance to the original. The Shetland is hardy and able to thrive in the harshest environment. It is sound, robust, and long-lived.
