About Miniature Horses
Miniature horses are a perfect way to introduce young children to equines. They are much less expensive to purchase and maintain as well as less intimidating to children (and perhaps their parents too!) Did you know:
- Larger Minis can be ridden by children up to 60lbs
- They can also drive a cart with an adult passenger!
- Minis need much less room than their bigger cousins both stable and pasture wise.
- Please click on the links in this website to learn more about miniature horses and their needs. And see you soon!
