For some reason, the most common question that we’re asked is “What can you do with a miniature horse?” The answer is: lots of things. They are used for companionship, show, as therapy animals, for investment, or any combination of these things.

i was thinking about quiting riding and getting a mini… could I have more info on how much space you need etc…:) thanks in advance
Sorry it has taken me a few days to respond to your comment. Believe me, minis are a wonderful choice when you decide that riding is no longer for you, but you still have a love and a need for horses! I used to run a Quarter Horse stud farm for my family, but realized at the time that miniatures were my true love. From that start, Little America has developed. We currently have around 170 head.
Miniatures are the best choice if you have limited space because they can actually work in a large back yard. Our show horse stalls are 4’x8′, having divided big horse stalls into three smaller stalls. Some people keep them in back yards, but if you are in town you will need to check the zoning rules. Locally, Austin, TX, is very liberal in allowing miniatures. One can keep a mare or a gelding in a back yard as long as their barn/shelter is 25′ or more from the neighbors.
Feed is another advantage. Compared to what I fed our Quarter Horses, I can feed about six miniatures for what I fed one of our stallions. Wormer is by weight, so one tube that would have taken care of a big horse will usually worm a mini five or six times (or five or six minis).
If I can help you further, please feel free to email or call me direct.
Thanks and good luck.
