Hi, its time to worm and I've lost my weigh tape, please could you let me know how much your slightly podgy 8-9hh standard shetlands weigh :/
 
My little was just weighed at the vets and was 180kg. I'm unfortunately not entirely sure on his height but I would guess around 9hh max (very chubby!) and not as stocky as most.

I'd go for 250kgs.
 
My 33inch solid Tiny Fuzzy, is approx 200. Reg mini shettie.
Despite STILL wearing a grazing muzzle for 12 hrs in daytime on poor pony grazing over 3 acres up the slope and having 4lb of soaked hay overnight in the diet paddock, she still looks a bit of a dumpling :redface3:
 
I breed shetlands - our 32" (8hh) shetlands weigh approx 150kg, our 34" (8.2hh) weigh approx 175kg, and 36" (9hh) weigh approx 200kg. I then have one at 38" (9.2hh) at approx 220kg, and finally a pony of 11.2hh who weighs around 325kg. These are all ponies of good solid bone.
 
We have a mini Shetland, I've never measured her, but she comes up to my mid thigh, she was weighed at the vets at 150kg and is not fat due to strict muzzling!
