Miniature horse.

Yesterday I took my two and a half year old grandson Braxton to a Miniature horse show held here in Bloomsburg Pennsylvania and sponsored by the “Keystone Miniature Horse Club” If you aren’t familiar with the term “Miniature horse,” this definition from Wikipedia tells about them.

“Miniature horses are found in many nations, particularly in Europe and the Americas. The designation of miniature horse is determined by the height of the animal, which, depending on the particular breed registry involved, is usually less than 34–38 inches (86–97 cm) as measured at the last hairs of the mane, which are found at the withers.[1][2] While miniature horses are the size of a very small pony, many retain horse characteristics and are considered "horses" by their respective registries. They have various colors and coat patterns.”

These horses were just wonderful to watch, and the event was held very much like a dog show with judges and classes. My little guy just loved it. The horses are about his size so they were still horses that he loves, but a whole lot less threatening. I’m sorry I didn’t get the name of this beautiful horse but I hope you enjoy the photo anyway.
