Shetlandponys?
Hallo ich nehme regelmäßig Reitunterricht und habe schon länger Erfahrung mit Pferden (bin 15). Ich wollte schon immer ein eigenes Pferd aber ich hatte die Idee mir erstmal Shetland Ponys zu holen (1 oder 2) mit denen ich dann viel Bodenarbeit mache, Longieren, Führen, pflegen etc. Vielleicht ist das ein Anfang um zu lernen, mehr Verantwortung zu übernehmen und generell um noch mehr Erfahrung zu sammeln. ( Und ich denke es fallen nicht so extreme Kosten an wie wenn ich ein Tunier Pferd hätte was noch Sättel, Unterricht, Hänger ect braucht) Was meint ihr?

I mean no.
shetlandponies are NOT suitable for beginners in horse keeping.
metabolic sensitivity and often painful and endurance anatomical stems make the animals complicated – at least if you want them to remain healthy.
so a shetlandpony becomes – as it is healthy – average 35 years old, but there are individual examples that have become between 45 and over 50 years old.
speak – shetlandponies are a purchase for life.
that was on the picture at the time of the photo just over 40. right at the picture with me – there is no exception. so – foreign use follows.
the pasture on which the animal stands is an acidic auenwiese. that is the only way to put such ponys on without getting seriously ill.
Shettys are much more difficult and often more expensive than “normal” big horses.
A normal pasture fence does not stop a shetty – they already need Shetty-friendly accommodation= extra costs (if you find a stable at all, most do not take any Shettys at all).
In the feed they are extremely sensitive, should be absolutely not compatible with big horses= under certain circumstances extra work for the stable and thus extra costs.
Hufschmied, dentist, Ostheo,…. often take supplements for shettys because the processing/treatment for such dwarves is much more difficult and more elaborate.
Equipment often doesn’t fit properly (no, even if Shetty is on it) and you often need custom made, which are of course more expensive.
In the best case, you get to the same cost as a big horse. In the worst case, it becomes more expensive than with a big horse.
Btw, to learn “responsibility” doesn’t need a pony. A pot plant can also be used for this.
With me all plants are always crispy 🤦 but my horse is great. 😂
But understand what you mean and see it as well.
Pot plant can also be replaced with Tamagochi, or general household.Or something else that has no feelings.
There are millions of young people who have learned to take responsibility without having to hold a pony or other animal as a “acting piece”.
So in the beginning I have to say that a Shetlandpony is not different from a tournament horse. You have to have just as much time, money and responsibility, because shetlandponys also need a lot of movement because they are very enjoyable to learn. You can’t just buy “mal” a Shetlandpony. Consider if you have enough space, money, etc., then I would buy you a Brave horse breed for example a Haflinger or something.
I hope I could help you
oke thanks👍
Hello,
I do not think that such acquisition is the right way to learn responsibility.
Imagine you actually have a pony afterwards and then you notice that it is too stressful with school/training and a pony (no matter how big or small it is, it wants to be moved).
With great probability, the pony must suffer from it.
If you want to try out “time”, I recommend a riding or care share. You can practice how it is if you have a commitment next to your everyday life one or two times a week.
thanks, I’m just looking for a care turnout, but everything is hard to find with us
Then invest the money in really good and high-quality riding lessons. The better you can ride, the more badge you have, the easier the RB search becomes. At the latest when you’re at A/L level, you don’t have to look for it anymore, but you’ll get RB’s thrown behind.
Wrong. The costs may even be higher.
A Shetty wants to be employed in an appropriate manner. The best way to go with a carriage. That means, for you, the coach ticket, for the pony professional. Tableware, carriage/sulky and co are not available, but must be custom made for Shettys.
Accommodation must be at least Fort Knox so that the animal does not break out. Roughs, troughs and co must be attached at a different height, which excludes most of the valleys from the outset.
You might get a 30-year-old Hafi, but not an outbreak artist who looks at grass and immediately gets Hufrehe.
This question has already been asked today. It’s a mistake that Ponies cost less than big horses.
And “for practicing” is more suitable than a horse.
Even your living situation is still unclear how you earn money later and you find the time to provide the animal.
Wait till you get stuck in your life with both legs and know what you need to spend for.
yes my other question was deleted so I asked them again and formulated them more understandably. We find riding interests very bad, and I also wanted to teach Shettys not as “praising” but also because they can teach them many things. And my living situation, of course, I don’t know yet, but I’m sure that would make up everything 🙂
You can teach every other horse as well.
Hi, a Schetty costs a little less than a normal horse, but this is still very expensive. Accommodation costs are the same as with a big horse and you need to find a stable nearby which is suitable for Schettys.
The remaining costs are also incurred. You don’t need a saddle, but you still need other equipment, which is also expensive. Teaching is also useful with a Schetty, especially since you don’t have much experience yet.
Also, a Schetty is as time-consuming as a horse, whether it is smaller. When the horse enters the clinic you also need a hanger (where you can borrow it (just as in the case of a big horse).
Also, Schettys are small, but therefore not easier in the posture, you need to know before the first own horse experience, which is best collected by nursing or horse-riding.
Also, it seems to me honestly that you just want a horse/pony, what one doesn’t matter to you, but you should know what you want. It’s not just about having a horse, it’ll be your companion for the next few years. Also, you don’t know what you want to do later, whether you have time to meet the horse or you can afford it.
Before getting a Schetty/ your own horse (and then one, you should not overthrow it), you should have experience with Schettys, horse keeping and ground work.
Therefore, I would advise you until you can be sure of being able to offer the horse as long as you have a proper life.
