How to save a condemned Miniature Horse
(from USA Miniature Horse)

Before you buy a miniature horse, make sure that you meet the minimum requirements:

• At least a half-acre of pasture. Mini horses don't live indoors.
• Your neighborhood MUST be zoned for livestock or exotic animals.
• Horses are herd animals and get lonely without a miniature horse companion.
• All pets can be expensive if they need Vet care. Any Vet hospital surgery can cost thousands of dollars.

Every years thousands of miniature and horses and ponies are slaughtered, and you can help.
