the average amount of land needed for a miniature horses is 1/2 to 1 acre. though i think its best to have more because of how they ruin the ground. i personally have 14 acres for 2 large and 10 minis. (we used to have 13) and sometimes it still doesn't seem enough to keep them grazing. hope this helps!
Miniature horses are considered livestock and are not allowed on commercially zoned property.
Well it depends on where you live and the zoning laws there. But typically horses are considered livestock.
Miniature horses are a breed based on height. There are two main registries for miniature horses. The AMHA has a height limit of 34 inches. The AMHR has two registerable height groups, 34 and under and 36 to 38 inches.
I work with miniature horses and they pretty much act lik normal sized horses
no
Miniature or draft, a horse is considered livestock. There are very specific laws and regulations that pertain to livestock and/or farm animals. The first thing you need to do is find out if your property is zoned to allow horses. If the zoning is right then you need to provide a shelter and good fencing for your mini. If you have neighbors close it is advised to make sure they won't mind having a horse next door. There is the smell, manure disposal, fly control, dust problem to name a few. This is an important point. You won't enjoy your mini if neighbors are complaining and calling the code enforcement on you. I have given you a place to start so do your homework checking with the county and good luck.

Kentucky's most important livestock are Thoroughbred horses and cattle.
Of course miniature horses can get pregnant. Horses are born, not made. And they're born from other horses. Only way for that to happen is if horses get pregnant.
Miniature means very, very small, but generally in comparison to the 'natural' or 'common' size. It does not have a specific size connotation. For example, you have horses and miniature horses, as well as poodles (standard poodles) and miniature poodles. The miniature version of each is much smaller than the regular version, but the miniature horses and the standard poodles are comparable in size.
NO!!
