Most mini's a A LOT smaller I think our biggest was 28" and we only got him as a "pet" for one of our disabled horses...lol
Even as pets you need to teach them certain things, mostly manners but a mini pulling a cart is great exercise for them and keeps them from getting sour. The last thing you need is a barns sour/ pasture sour mini, they are small but can still hurt you and they are more ornery than a full size horse even on a good day. There is something about mini's and ponies, they just aren't as cooperative and are a lot more stubborn than a full size horse, we called it short horse syndrome...lol

No silly, I didn't mean I wasn't going to work with them and try and teach them things, first of all manners.. I just meant they aren't coming to live with me to be work horses. lol
There is a great deal of difference in their sizes, it is very hard to tell from these pics because she got much closer up to them to get better pics than the ones I had.
Peebie, the baby, she is just under 26 inches tall and Sky, the pinto, is about 32 inches tall or so, I'd say. She is almost as wide as she is tall. But her head held high only came just above my waist and I am 5'6" tall.
I'll say they are a bit bigger than I expected so I am not 100% sure they are actual minis. But to me, I don't care, they are mine and I fell in love with them.
