Most miniature horse breeds are too small to do any sort of work; they are suitable only for very light harness work or the occasional ride by a small child. They are bred mainly as pets, and therefore horses with the sweetest and kindest temperament are chosen to breed. Almost all miniature horses are very good-natured, with the exception of studs (if you buy a male mini, get him gelded.) Of course, there will be some miniature horses that do not have such a good nature. Also, you can never entirely trust any horse - a small child should never be left unsupervised with even the nicest miniature.
