He ʻano lio nui ka Shetland pony i laha a puni ka honua. ʻO kēia kekahi o nā ʻano lio nui loa ma ka laulā a kaulana loa i waena o nā ʻano pony.

Mai ia manawa, ua laha ʻo Shetland ponies a puni ka honua.
Nā hiʻohiʻona o waho o ka pua
ʻO Shetland ponies kekahi o nā ʻano pōkole loa (ke kiʻekiʻe ma ka maloʻo 75-107 cm). ʻOiai ko lākou kino liʻiliʻi, he kumukānāwai ikaika kēia mau lio.

Ma keʻano laulā, ua like nā lio o kēia ʻano me nā kaʻa liʻiliʻi kaumaha.
