What to expect: Miniature Horses are under 34-38 inches (depending on registry) and are bred to have horse proportions in miniature, unlike ponies. They're generally gentle, friendly, and people-oriented. They're often easier to handle than full-sized horses, making them accessible for many people.
Perfect for: Companionship, driving, showing, therapy work, and agility. While they can't be ridden by adults, they can pull small carts and participate in numerous competitions. Many become beloved family pets who live in the backyard.
Care advantages: Lower feed costs, smaller space requirements, and easier general handling than full-sized horses. However, they still need proper care, hoof maintenance, and companionship (they're herd animals). They can live 25-35 years with proper care.

They're perfect for families, people with disabilities, or anyone who wants equine companionship without the full-sized commitment.
