If you are looking for a horse in a tiny form then you have found the Miniature Horse. They are not a pony but a breed by itself. They should resemeble a horse in everyway except they are very small. They come in all colors and coat patterns. They also come in 2 sizes. They are usually not ridden because of their small size but don't let this fool you!
