What do I need to own a miniature Horse?
There are many things that you need to know when buying a miniature
horse and you should be prepared to make a commitment of at least 20-35
years. Before you buy, make sure that you meet the minimum requirements:
- Pasture - You
should have at least a half-acre of
pasture per pony. Mini horses don't live indoors!
- Zoning - Your neighborhood
MUST be zoned for livestock or exotic
animals. The only exceptions are for
service
horses for the disabled.
- A Buddy -
Horses are herd animals and get very sad and lonely without a horse
companion. Buy two!
- Finances - Pets can be expensive if they need Vet care. Any Vet hospital surgery can cost thousands of dollars.
Many horse lovers recommended that you avoid the expensive show-quality horses that are advertised on the web and spend your money to save a discarded, unwanted or abused miniature horse. You will have a noble friend for many decades.
