Miniature Horses, exactly like their full size cousins, fall into many different types, therefore when you register your horse you can also indicate the type / category that is relevant and correct for your miniature horse. This will help when you come to show your horse, breed your horse or describe it properly to any prospective purchaser.
To help you select the correct category when showing we have described each type below , and even described how it should be turned out for showing. Plus you will find photographic examples of each type / category.
