Description:

Unique, loveable, full of character and a delight to own . The Miniature and Small Horse is a unique breed and is not to be confused with a Miniature Pony or Shetland Pony. Upon maturity the Miniature Horse must not exceed 34 inches, 8.2 hands or 86 cm in height. If the Miniature Horse exceeds this height it is then placed in another category which is known as Small Horse, these horses must not exceed 38inches, 9.2 hands or 96.50 cm, please refer to our Breed Standard for more information. In Australia, Miniature and Small Horses are the fastest growing breed as their size, temperament and character endears them to people of all ages and from all walks of life. Children are naturally attracted to them, people with small acreage are able to support and breed them therefore creating their own mini stud. Former horse owners can continue their love affair with horses, feeling less challenged by the burden of caring for a larger equine. Miniature and Small Horses are shown in halter, harness classes and performance events including trail and jumping, many are simply kept as pets. People returning home from stressful jobs find companionship and relaxation in these gentle little horses and they provide the perfect cure to loneliness. Would you like to know more about this incredible breed please visit our contact page to have your questions answered by one of our Committee persons. About Us The Miniature Horse Association of Australia Inc. was founded in 1989 to provide for an Association dedicated wholly and completely to one breed of horse - THE MINIATURE HORSE. The breed standard states if there were no size reference, the Miniature Horse might give the illusion of being a full sized horse. The general impression should be one of refinement, symmetry, agility and an alert intelligence. The Miniature Horse is a truly unique and special little horse.There are two categories of Miniature Horse - Category A: Not exceeding 34 as an adult and Small Horse: Not exceeding 38 as an adult. There are also height for age requirements Membership in MHAA is available to all persons who subscribe to the aims and objects of the Association. Associate membership is for interested persons who do not own a registered Miniature Horse; Regular membership is open to persons who own registered horses. Only Regular members have voting rights in the Association and only Regular members are eligible to hold management positions in the Association. The magazine Fine Lines is published by MHAA, this publication is an excellent source of information about the breed, the studs involved, the care and management of Miniature Horses and current events and results. Miniature Horses are exhibited at many shows throughout Australia. The Association conducts a National High Point Competition and some states also hold an annual State High Point Competition for owners.Contact us for more information.
