I have a three year old filly who is 26" tall as a 3 year old. I don't think she is a dwarf (but she does come from dwarf producing lines) and I would like to work with her on lunging and maybe jumping. She'd be a heck of good little horse (not for breeding!!) when it comes to stuff like that.
I would love to work with her. She has a lot of potential and is a quick learner. She does have her conformational faults, but the more I compare her to her dam, sire, and siblings, the more I see the similarities in faults. Like, short necks, long back, cow hocks, etc. they're a BIG issue in my herd. All of my minis have those faults. She is small, but her sire has thrown small foals and has shorter minis in his lines. Her dam is around 30" and produced small with small minis in her lines.
So I am curious of your opinions of lunging her, possibly even jumping her over small jumps, and maybe doing some halter obstacle. She's a smart little devil. Never even had to train her to load the trailer. She hopped in by herself.
I'm curious on your opinions of this?
Here's some pics of the little tyke.

Isn't she such a character?
