Today is the first day of our fair and I always have to go into the petting zoo first thing. When I walked in I looked over and saw a mini. I got closer and realized it was a dwarf with a sign above it saying "Miniature Horse." I walked up to the guy running it and asked him if that was a dwarf mini over there. He said no it's not if it was a dwarf then it's head would be bigger than it's body. I told the guy, I've been breeding minis for 10 years, I know a dwarf when I see one. First off, he's trying to pass a dwarf on as a representation of our breed and second isn't it harder on a dwarf to travel since their legs aren't as strong? I tried telling the guy this in a nice tone but he got jerky about it. What do you think I should do? I've thought about going into the fair office and talking to them. If anything, the people won't be asked back next year. BUT that won't stop him from going to other fairs. Sunday is the miniature horse show and I thought about getting all the breeders to go visit the petting zoo and tell this guy off. I also planned on printing off pictures of dwarfs that look exactly like that poor little guy that he had and telling him to compare. What do you all think?
