AMHA and AMHR Registered Miniature Horses

Miniature horses are a unique breed - an elegant, little scaled-down version of a large size horse. The American Miniature Horse Association (AMHA) stipulates that miniature horses cannot be taller than 34 inches when measured at the last hair of the mane. The American Miniature Horse Registry (AMHR) recognizes two height divisions, "A" 34" and under, and "B" 34-38" in height using the same measuring criteria listed above for AMHA. A miniature horse requires the same care as a standard size horse except in much smaller quantities. Although one acre of grazing is suggested for two adult minis, it is possible to keep one in a good sized backyard. Because of their gentle, affectionate nature and small size, a miniature horse can be an excellent pet. Children can learn to care for and even ride some of the larger minis before graduating to their bigger cousins. Older people have found the miniature to be an excellent substitute for the full-size horse they no longer feel physically able to handle. The AMHA and AMHR associations sponsor shows throughout the United States for those who enjoy the thrill of competition. Miniatures compete in halter, driving, jumping, hunter, trail, and showmanship. Information regarding both associations is listed under "favorite links".
