miniature horse
Small breed steed
A miniature horse is a very small horse breed, typically under 34–38 inches tall at the withers, bred selectively for compact size rather than dwarfism.
Unlike ponies, miniature horses retain horse proportions in a scaled-down form.
They serve as companion animals, therapy animals, and show animals: She keeps miniature horses on her hobby farm.
Some are trained as service animals for the visually impaired.
