Her is a cutie. Horses are herd animals, they need friends. A one only horse is a lonely horse. And I would be willing to bet that he is still in full possession of his testicles. You don't want a stud, even a mini. While it might sound like a good idea, unless you get two or more, it is a bad idea, and probably a herd of minis is a bad idea.
Nyboy, you are too smart to fall into "isn't he cute" trap. A horse is a big responsibility and just because he is small does not lessen the responsibility.

Oh dear...Nyboy is at it again.
It's probably cheaper to have a truckload of manure dumped at your place.

I would go with goats.
Here are my two cents from a 31 year horse owner. You have NO IDEA how much time it takes to train ANY horse to manners, and it is highly likely that somebody will see you coming and pass off a little mini monster. RE-training can take up to 20x as long as correct training. ALL horses are very smart and look to lead when they are not handled by a leader. Mini's are strong enough to kick an adult in the head and kill you. ONLY horse people should own them, and they should be trained to drive a cart with an adult.
I understand that goats can be like lapdogs, if you spend time with them, and they make good "garbage disposals", like chickens.

I think that @Nyboy just needs to go ahead and build a 10 hutch rabbit farm and get Harvey a bunch of buddies.

A friend who owned horses said opening up your wallet on a windy day and watching all your money blow away is same as horse ownership. Yep my luck would be getting mini monster.
