Hippopotamus miniatures

My first miniature horse I got to know in 1996. It was a Eurasian horse in the pension stables where my two thoroughbred ponies were. He is so sweet, but what would I really do with a miniature horse? At the time I knew I wanted a little horse, but I still thought there was no way to get the most out of one like my saddle horse.

Nearly ten years later I still have a full-sized horse, but it is my 17 miniature ponies that have conquered my passion and most of my free times. The hairs are judged from where the last coat is growing out of the male and not from the height at the withers like in other races.

An" Over" or" B Division" miniature is over 34", but not larger than 38". An" Under" or" A Division" miniature is not larger than 34". They are often called Arabians, thoroughbreds, quarters and draught horses. It has an interesting effect and can be a little astonishing for those who are new to the minicolour iris.

This can or does not cause the fur to become stained, usually "mute" the colour of a horse's lower thighs, and often leads to flat hairs and cocks. On the whole, miniature ponies are very clever cats. Although they are the same height as some races of dogs, they are and should be cared for and dealt with as such.

Miniature is an extremly robust race, which is usually strong and light to keep. You need the same diligence and attentiveness as any big horse, although they use less food and less drinking power. Mini horses need about 20% to 25% as much food as a thoroughbred horse. Thumbnails are very occasionally shoed, but should be given a shoeing every six to eightweek.

As with any other horse, dental treatment is necessary; this involves yearly examinations and work if necessary. Nearly every single moment someone learns that I have miniature ponies, he asks: "What do you do with them? "With a horse in full height, you can do anything but riding.

Lots of miniature horse riders like them. An appropriate, medium miniature horse can readily draw two grown-ups onto a level ground over a longer area. A thing that many folks appreciate about riding a miniature is that it is a "horse-like" thing that can also involve a friend or relative who can't horsewhip.

A further favourite among miniature fans is the presentation of their ponies. Thumbnails are shown in various categories, among them holsters (exterior), paint, sweaters, hunters, freedom, obstacles, carnival, costume and riding. Except for the riding and freedom categories, all are done with the horse in your hands. Hunting is built on the horse's steady speed between leaps and its shape over the jump.

Springpferdeklasse is an altitude contest; the first place goes to the horse who can complete the highest leap clean ( "without tapping the railing"). Basically, the jumping category is "trail in hand", where your horse can cross a viaduct, go past some floor bars, through the sea, etc. Besides miniature breeding shows, miniature animals can also be seen more frequently in open exhibitions, which compete against the "Biggies" in holster and showsmanship.

You will even successfully participate in mixed riding competitions with bigger ponies and complete the full length of up to 7, 5 or 8 mile as well as the full sized one. A further area in which miniature ponies stand out are the therapeutic males. It pleases home care recipients and hospitals, and its small dimensions make such trips relatively simple.

They have a great capacity to adapt to the needs of those with particular needs and can be particularly tender and caring in such a situation. Due to their small dimensions, thumbnails can be less daunting for some horse lovers. It is a good choice for older horse owners who no longer have a feeling of safety when dealing with thoroughbred ponies but do not want to give up their lives.

In addition, their small dimensions minimize the amount of room required to accommodate them in comparison to a thoroughbred horse. That makes horse possession a real option for those who have little room or resource. The popularity of miniature ponies is growing. You are a beautiful race with loving, smart characters and can be an outstanding selection for many horse lovers.

Next contemplating taking a new horse into your own world, you should consider this one. The American Miniature Horse Registry (AMHR) and the American Miniature Horse Association (AMHA, www.amha.org) have two major registers for miniature ponies. AMHR detects both elevations, while AMHA only detects the subdivision or the A-division.

Most miniature ponies measuring 34" or less are recorded with both organisations.
