A TRUE horse lover, appreciates each type for their purpose. Accept the idiots at their level.....
I personally would never ever consider owning a draft breed, but I still appreciate them.
Miniature horses and miniature shetlands have a purpose.......just as the draft horses do. The little ones can be cart driven and give pleasure to people who are unable to ride a full size........for what ever reason. They also allow children to learn about equine without being intimidated. (I point that all out to people all the time.)
I also ask people who have a full sized horse in their back yard........."Do you love your horse?".......They reply, "Yes."..........."How often do you RIDE your horse????" (They often just give me a bug-eyed stare.)
