Was reading through other posts and found this
"When it comes to conformation, miniatures for show and breeding should be held to the same standard as are full size horses. Straight legs, good bites and sound conformation are important. When it comes to showing, there is a type that is preferred in halter class. The current preference is for very proportional horses with high set and long necks, small heads, long clean legs and short backs. However, miniatures exist in all body types and each type has its admirers. The major types are often referred to as Arabian, Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse, and Draft – however, they are all still “just” miniature horses."
I was aware that miniature horses looked different in type, but never knew they were really classified, if you will. So, I would love to see pictures of the "major types", or a description will work too.
Thanks Jill for posting this I found it to be very interesting and informative to read.
