a shetland needs about 1-2 acres approx , each extra shetland needs half and acre as a companion is always appreciated. If theyare living out grass , some form of shelter is needed such as trees or a high wall. The field needs to be seperated into to two to give it a rest. Hay or haylege is a good bonus during the winter for the extra fat to keep warm Hope ypu enjoy a shetland emma
