Advantages of Owning Minis

YOUR CHILDREN WILL LOVE THEM!!!
Finally, your smallest child can have a horse that is just his or her size to ride OR show! Children up to 70 pounds may ride depending upon the age, height and body type of the miniature horse. Unlike riding a full-sized horse, the hazards are greatly reduced due to the animals’ size. And, for even more fun, the AMHA sponsors a full youth division for your young showman.
