Skylark The Miniature Horse

Skylark is a sweet, playful, gentle, docile, adorable filly. She is very well mannered and very friendly. She is accustomed to being handled by children and is very good with them. She is bombproof and nothing worries her. She loves to play with people, and always greets you with a whinny or a nicker. She is best friends with my collie and they enjoy cuddling together. She leads, ties, cross-ties, and stands for the farrier. She doesn't mind electric clippers, and loves to be blanketed. She is housetrained, climbs stairs, and rides in my minivan. She doesn't mind cars. She gets along well with dogs big and small, cats, horses of all sizes and children of all ages. She loves to gallop through feilds with you running beside her. Her favorite activity if going hiking. She carries her saddlebag with grain and our lunches and enjoys crossing narrow plank boardwalks, jumping logs, climbing steep hills and ridges, and crossing creeks. She was imprinted at birth. She is trained to drive. She is not yet old enough to carry weight, but when she is old enough will make an excellent driving mini. She is trained to ride, and knows neck reining, and direct contact, and leg commands (of cours without weight due to her age). Right now her only riders and cart drivers are chihuahuas. She loves to jump and jumps my dog agility jumps for fun when I am not around. She knows stay and comes when called. She does not have to be "caught" as she always is at the gate to great you. She knows her name. never bites or kicks. She doesn't mind being hobbled or picketed. If left loose she doesn't run off. She goes through gates well, and likes sprinklers. She is fine in a stall, and is well behaved for baths. She has been raised on fresh grass, top quality feed, and hay. She is up to date on vaccinations, coggins, and wormings. She is microchipped with AKC CAR. I have had Skylark from birth and I am loath to sell her, but due to my current situation I must. She is very smart and people oriented. She was born 9-21-08. She is AMHA registerable (I have all of her paperwork), and should mature to 33". She appears black in the photos, but is actually shedding out to bay. If you are interested

at (803) 807-1116. I can email you plenty of beautiful photos of her including chihuahuas riding and driving her in costume, her playing in the yard, and her hiking.

i really tripped out to this video. speaking of dogs, why weren't the dogs mentioned in the title? in fact, i would rename it, Mommy Fortuna's Woodland Creatures.

@sportsbabexox it;s not basically a dog! this is what annoys me! A horse even minature ones need a big field, seen every 6-8 weeks by the farrier, see the dentist every 6 month, all the same vaccinations, a special diet to prevent collic or w/e and a stable if there is no field shelter. And transportation if any horse should be done in a trailer. So no it is not a dog, the only thing this pony has in common with a dog is its size. Oh and horses need constant access to forage.

She looks very friendly!!! I also love your collie!! It was funny when the dog was riding in the saddle.

Well I have one and we use our van to transport her, but thats only because we dont have a trailer. We use her as a therapy animal at the local nursing homes, along with my therapy goats. They all travel in our van and dont seem to mind. She NEVER comes in our house, she stays in the barn or out in the field unless she is helping people that are less fortunate then ourselves.

@ILoveJoBroConcerts it matters because it is not treated as a horse. It needs all the things i have listed not a house and car. I am a big believer that horses are horses and need to be treat accordingly (like any animal) but a horse no matter what size should not be treat like a dog, yes if you have a big field as a garden have a pony in your garden but having it in the car or house is just wrong.

@DeathKitty123456 If they are still getting cared for, as in plenty of food and fresh water, then why does it matter to you how they are transported?

[DeathKitty123456]

I hate it when people treat these horses like household pets, they need a stable and/or a field and a trailer for transport not a house and a minivan. They need horse feed, hay or haylage to eat and a straw bed, They need checking by the dentist, they need routined worming and vaccinations they neeed farrier checks every 4-8weeks they need to be treat as a horse, not a dog!
