Love the pics Karla! Thank you for sharing. It's a shame that Tucker and Mazie have the same Daddy b/c I bet they would make some beautiful little ones!!

They sure are cute.

What is the general temperament of a mini? Or are they individuals and it varies?

How big do they usually get? And as far as that goes, where/what do you measure for height and length?

Thank you sooooo much for sharing more wonderful pictures of the foals. I LOVE seeing them! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

bear--they are typical horses, but maybe a bit more dog like because they can follow one around and be a pest. :wink: But--you're exactly right--it varies with each horse. Both Tucker and Mazie are so darned sweet. Last night when the mares and foals came in for dinner, instead of Tucker running in his stall to eat, he stood right in front of me. I asked him what he wanted, and suggested maybe it was a kiss. I promptly kissed him on top of is head and then he scampered in to dinner. So cute!!!

Measuring: Big horses are measured in hands, each which is 4", from the ground to their withers. Minis, oddly enough, are measured from the ground to their last mane hair in inches. Rosie is about 34", while Gypsy is about 31". Mazie will be about 30" and Tucker will end about 32". At birth they are 16-22".

What/where are a horse's "withers"?

Last mane hair - closer to their nose or closer to their tail? (I do know where a horse's mane is :?)

Can they be ridden?

Are they mainly pets?
