What is a Miniature Horse?
The American Miniature Horse is a unique breed, but its origin may be traced
to several sources. Miniature horses were used in England and North Europe as
early as 1765 to pull carts in the coal mines. They were also bred as pets for
the royal families of Europe. Some were brought to the United States in the late
19th century and used in the mines of West Virginia and Ohio as late as the
1950's.
The miniature is a scaled-down model of a full-sized horse and can measure no
more than 34 inches at the withers (the last hairs of the mane). The Standard of
Perfection calls for the smallest, most perfectly conformed horse as the breed
ideal. The body types can generally be divided into the finer-boned Thoroughbred
or Arabian type and the heavier-boned Quarter Horse type. They come in all
colors, and the pintos and appaloosas seem to be very popular with people.
