We got to visit a miniature-horse ranch and learned all about these little wonders. They are named 'Little Gods' after Mythological Gods like Zeus, Thor, Hermes, etc.
The horses were very friendly, but they got a little nervous because of so many kids wanting to pet them. Anyways, we've decided to plant a little pasture and get a miniature horse because it could haul us to town and back. It would be a good way for Chad to get to work also, because they don't take up to much space and he could put it in his office closet when he was with clients. No one would even know!
Here is Jose---2 feet tall and all power!
I didn't know but the horses were bred down in size in order to achieve a small species. This started with the Welsh and Shetland ponies in order for them to go into mining shafts and pull out coal or whatever. They are very strong for their size and can haul a big load, surprisingly. They are so dang cute!!
