As much as I love horses, I find miniature horses to being even more delightful. No matter what age they are, they look like young ponies, and they sometimes seem even more playful than the full-size versions. Even just the way their little legs trot around is so precious.
If it were practical to have a miniature horse as a pet, I would be first in line for National Velvet Jr. No matter what miniature horses do, they always bring a smile to my face. Watching these two miniature horses running around is such a joy because you can just tell how much fun they are having. They don’t want to stop!
It’s always impressive to watch them do tricks, too, like Samson the adorable miniature show pony. Lots of little horses have big talent like that. The miniature horses in this video by Kaila Reeves are incredible jumpers.
Toby, Cash, Comanche, and Pickles get so much air under their miniature legs as they bravely jump these fences, it’s like they are about to take flight. These miniature horses perform demos across Southern California and are even available for birthday parties (hint, hint to whoever plans my next birthday!).
