Iowa State Fair - Miniature Horse Show

Their small stature is a product of centuries of breeding. Bred as pets for nobility in the 17th century, some miniatures were also used as work horses. Today, the small animals bring their unique charm to the Livestock Pavilion show ring. Highlights include pleasure driving events and the youth costume class.

@AngelBecca29 Minis are built to pull a lot of weight. They can't carry much on their backs, but they can EASILY pull two small adults.

[AngelBecca29]

Doesn't it strain their backs and legs pulling those heavy adults?
