fluffbug...I'll answer here since others may want to know.
The American Miniature Horse is a height breed. There are two registries: AMHA and AMHR. AMHA requires the horses to be 34" and under. The measurement is taken from the last mane hair, unlike big horses where it's taken at the withers. Minis can be small--even 28" and under. AMHR has two divisions. The height requirement for A is 34" and below, while the B is over 34" to 38".
There's now such thing as a miniature pony. Ponys are over 38" and under 14.2 hands I believe.
How's that? :D

Hmm now wait a minute. I have many miniature ponies :) LOL. You probably knew Id say that.
Most of mine are registered both American Miniature Horse and American Shetland Pony :)
American Shetland Ponies can be any height up to 46"
Miniatures are a height registry and Shetlands are a breed registry
I know its confusing!

But--the pony part and the mini part are separate.
:D
This is pretty confusing... but fluffbug--you ask questions and Kay and I will answer whatever you come up with -- Kay's been involved with this a LOT longer than I have though... I dabble--she's a serious show girl. :wink: But I'm here more often, so if you ask something I need Kay to answer--I'll email her.

The whole miniature shetland thing is awfully confusing!
I dont have new pics of shadow yet. Im hoping to get some today. The weather has been so bad here that he hasnt been turned out with the herd yet but today is his day! I do think Im going to have to clip the poor guy. Hes got such a huge winter foal coat and not shedding yet. It will be 85 today! and no rain yeahhhhhhhhhhh
Im pretty sure your girl is silver dapple like her momma but silver bay is possible too. Sometimes you have to wait for them to get a little age on them to know for sure.
Still wondering when Karla is going to come visit. You need to come visit during the Ohio World Show and then you can help LOL
