Many ponies are long-lived, it is not unusual for a Shetland pony to live more than 30 years. Conversely, their small size also predisposes some individuals to a greater probability of heart problems than in larger animals, on occasion leading to early death.

Ponies can live up to ALMOST 40, but this is very rare; most live to somewhere in their 20's-30's.
