• The American Miniature is a "height" breed - they must measure no more than 34 inches in height at maturity

• This measurement is the vertical distance from the last hairs at the base of the mane to the ground

• These tiny equine are replicas of their larger breed cousins and will look like Quarter Horses, Arabs, Thoroughbreds, and Draft Horses

• These horses are produced by selectively breeding down in size yet maintaining as near-perfect conformation as possible

• Miniature Horses thrive on attention and display a curiosity and intelligence that make them delightful companions, allowing people of all ages to enjoy them

• Care of the Miniature Horse is the same as that of the larger breeds, however, on a much smaller scale with regard to feed, deworming doses, medication and such

• The Miniature Horse loves to be outside and several will find an acre or less plenty of room to exercise and graze, while indoor facilities are adequate with a stall size of 6 feet by 8 feet

• These horses have been known to accompany their owners on airplane flights as excess baggage!
