Miniature Horse Questions!?
First of all I have a friend with 4 miniature horses. I would like to see them win some ribbons.
1. How can I get these cuties back in shape? Yes I am light enough to ride them and am currently training them just the basics (Bending, gaits, turn, draw reins, stop, etc…) I cant ride them too much otherwise I would wear them out to much.
2. Can you show a miniature horse in a little Halter class?
If so how do you train and prepare (grooming)?
3. Any tips on pulling a really thick miniature horse mane? Do you just reccomend cutting it?
Thanks so much!
Have a great day
Usually exercise of minis is done on a walker or by pulling a cart.
Yes, there are a number of halter classes for minis. Minis are also showed in showmanship, trail class, jumping (both in hand), liberty, costume, driving, just to name a few. They are typcially groomed much like you would a big horse. The more QH looking minis are groomed like a QH with a shorter bridle path and the more Arab looking minis are groomed more like Arabs with a longer bridle path. They are also set up similar to their big horse counterparts.
Usually minis are shown with a full thick mane that is not pulled, shortened, or thinned. Just clip the bridle path area.
