Many colorful myths abound about the origin of the Miniature horse. Contemporary historians tend to support the breed as a derivative of many sources. In prehistoric times, small horse breeds were likely the products of surviving harsh natural climates and limited feed. However today, with knowledge of genetics, it is possible to breed specifically for size
It is known that, at various times in equine history, Miniature horses have been bred for pets, novelty, research, monetary gain, mining work, exhibition, and royal gifts. In addition to the prehistoric evidence of small equids, it is speculated that the Miniature horse is a result of nearly 400 years of selective breeding . . .
