Horses
Miniature horses are very versatile animals.
They can be used for many purposes including: 
• A pet and companion
• To pull a cart
• As a show animal
• As a guide animal
Miniature horses are very friendly by nature and don’t require a lot of room, so they make excellent companions to people of all ages. Minis are strong enough to pull a cart with a load that is large compared to their size. There are organized competitions for minis with a variety of events including jumping, driving and conformation contests. Recently, miniature horses have been used as guide animals for the blind because their small size and long life span make them well suited for this job.
