Miniature Horse

Minnie, dwarf miniature horse'Minnie' is not just a miniature horse, she is a dwarf miniature horse.  This means she is even smaller than the average of these domestically bred small equine.

Standing at a height of about 2.5 to 3 feet at her back, Minnie is a real favorite among the youngest of Black Pine's visitors.

This novelty breed of horse is sometimes seen competing in horse-drawn vehicle competitions on a miniature scale.  Prior to Minnie joining the population of Black Pine's animal residents, she was thoroughly checked by veterinarians at Purdue University.  After a clean bill of health with note of an expected normal lifespan of up to 30 years, she joined the menagerie in the field at the park.
