When I lived in Ohio an old time big horse breeder told me this. When they bred for ponies between big horses and minis they always bred a big stud to a mini mare. He told me that this would result in a normal sized mini for birthing and that it then grew to pony size after being born. However I have noticed on mini farms the stallion is almost always smaller than the mares, I would guess this is so the mares don't have foaling problems. Which of these views is correct?
