For considering the purchase of a shetland pony...?
Please share pictures of yours... to convince me NOT to do it

Too cute but no way! What do you want it for?
Don't have one myself but very tempted by the 'Beatrix Potter' ones that still need rehoming. (horse and hound news page, if you haven't seen it).
If you're going to get a second why not get one you can ride?
Ant makes a good point - Shetlands need such careful management to ensure they're not fat and at risk of lami I'd look to get something that needs similar levels of exercise/grass/turnout as the one you already have.
And managing them is made doubly difficult by their uncanny ability to apparently teleport themselves under solid fences in order to reach better grazing....
