well I am not going to claim to be a pony expert( I am for sure just learning) but the minis of a few years ago did look very much like the shetlands of a few years ago as at one point they were one and the same.
I dont think minis are striving to be like Shetlands or vice versa they are seperate breeds owned and loved by everyone for reasons not cause they are the exact same.
: Although really the classics and foundations are pretty similar IMO and I am learning there really is a pretty noticable difference in the Moderns and Modern Pleasure ponies as well and then from that you have formal pleasure, road ponies pleasure ponies.. argh enough to make your head spin
: I am still trying to figure all of that out
:
I think that everyone has different ideas of what is fancy and refined- personally coming from Warmbloods I LOVE the hackney type of heads however the ponies themselves are not for me (Moderns)
I do think that both breeds are growing and everyone can find what they like without trying to melt them both into the same versions of eachother. and yet still appreciate the beauty in all pony types and the minis
:
and I have to also add almost every breed of horse was at one point crossed with other breeds to get what you have today
