Description
Miniature horses are defined by their small height. They can be found in many nations, particularly in Europe and the AmWhile miniature horses fit a height-based definition to be considered a very small pony, ericas, and are the result of centuries of selective breeding. Depending on the particular breed registry involved, the height of these horses is usually less than 34–38 inches as measured at the last hairs of the mane, which are found at the withers.
Miniature horses are generally bred to be friendly and to interact well with people. For this reason they are often kept as family pets, though they still retain natural horse behavior, including a natural fight or flight instinct, and must be treated like an equine, even if they primarily serve as a companion animal. They are also trained as service animals, akin to assistance dogs for disabled people. Miniature horses are also trained for driving, equine agility, and other competitive horse show type events.

Such fun to photograph - and if I turn around there is an active eagle nest right opposite this little guy.
