Since American Miniature horses cannot be ridden by
any but the smallest children, an often-asked question
is “What can you do with a Miniature?” One popular way
owners enjoy their Miniature horse is to drive them.
Miniatures are very adept at learning to drive and can be
enjoyed by people of all ages. It is not unusual to see a
group of Miniature Horse owners enjoying a quiet drive
down a country road.
Horse lovers perhaps not as mobile as they used to be and
preferring not to manage a large horse are discovering the
benefits of the Miniature horse whether in competition,
recreation or as an investment. Special needs individuals
also find Miniatures to be excellent companions. Miniature
horses have successfully participated in therapeutic
settings in hospitals, rehabs, airports, schools and colleges.
Their size makes them perfect for navigating tight spaces
and hospital equipment.
Children intimidated by large horses tend to eagerly
embrace a Miniature horse. Adults too, reap the rewards
of Miniature horse ownership; it is not uncommon to see
a grandparent and a grandchild joining to care for or work
with their horses.
Keeping a Miniature horse is about one-tenth the cost of
maintaining a large horse; basically smaller amounts of
feedstuffs and clean-up is much less!
