Gave me a chuckle. I hate for people to think this of minis, they would be amazed if they saw my old man walk through the house on a lead, or better yet, the last show I took him to before he was retired, we bathed him in the walk in shower. It was too cold outside. (the house is no place for a horse to stay, but I always tried to take them through an assortment of various environments).
Anyhow, I guess portraying a mini as such to sell the product is better than an idiotic parent doing exactly what was shown, being clueless on horse care and putting a live animal under the tree.......we all know how many minis (and puppies) become throwaways when adults use impaired logic this time of year.
