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.

∙ 12y agoA miniature horse actually was bred down from a standard size horse ( 15 hands and above) to smaller and smaller , until what we now know of as Miniature horse . These horses are measured in inches and to qualify as a miniature horse it must be 28" from the withers down . Anything above that measurement would be considered to be a pony .
This answer is very wrong. a mini doesn't have to be 28" to qualify as one. they have to be UNDER 38" to qualify. And you mesure from the bottom of the mane.

Miniature horses are known as livestock because they are a horse or a stock animal.
