Sorry, that breed name is not familiar. Could you be thinking of a ranch or town where miniatures are bred? This one is a fallabella (the original miniature horse) bred originally in England for coal mines. No, they didn't mine. The pick handles wouldn't fit in their hooves. They pulled the coal carts. Yes, they are very strong and can pull a cart all day.

Making them stand still while you fit a union jack decal on their back is a real task, though.

 

The Horses name is RHMColor Me's El Habanero for show and we call him "Chili" at home. Look for him at the Oregon State Fair. We haven't named the new mini yet.

Yeah i know they were used to pull the mine cars, roommate is a mining engineer and industrial rev era america is part of history i have studied alot, but I have always seen those type of minature horses revered to as shelton ponies. I grew up in Texas though so it could just be a local nickname for minature horse breeds.

And a small light bulb goes off over my head. You are referring to the Shetland pony from the island off the coast of Scotland, and were also used for mines. They average 50" tall and are ponies. The miniature horse is actually much smaller than the pony, unlike what you would think.

 

hmmm... do you find that your house now has pictures posted everywhere? are there a lot of monkeys around?

 

Now all you need is a MINI horse trailer.

 

And just now I read a story on Mini-cows!

Story here!

 

That is GREAT. My dad and step mom have two mini horses. When I go there after I get my mini, I will have to take the same kind of picture and give it to them
