Miniature horses were never bred for riding and should not be ridden by anyone. The smallest ride-able equine is the Shetland pony.
Designating a miniature horse as a miniature horse is determined by the height of the animal. The height of miniature horses are usually less than 34-38 inches measured at the last hairs at the base of the horses mane. This differs from a standard horse which is measured to the highest point of the withers.
The world's smallest horse, Thumbelina, weighs roughly 26kg. Other miniature horses can weigh between 80kg and 102kg
Yes, there is a Schleich "Falabella" horse. It is the only miniature horse at this time. You can see it in the link below.

One is a miniature horse.
Miniature horses require the same amount of food regardless of sex, unless a mare is pregnant. Mini's should be fed at 1.5 to 1.75% of their body weight daily. So for a miniature that is 200 pounds that's 3-3.5 pounds of feed daily. To calculate the weight for feed weigh the horse or use a weight tape and then divide the weight as follows: weight divide by 100= ? x 1.5 or 1.75 = weight in feed. (Example 200 / 100= 2x 1.5 or 1.75 = 3-3.5 pounds.)
A miniatuurpaard is a miniature horse .. like a pony or those drarf horses. Miniatuur = miniature Paard = horse. :)
The Falabella. It's a very small miniature horse, not a pony. http://cowboyfrank.net/fortvalley/breeds/Falabella.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falabella_(horse)
How fast a horse, pony, or miniature eats depends completely on the individual. A paint horse will, of course, eat MORE than a miniature because it is bigger.
Yes, but if the miniature is a mare, then no, the developing foal would kill her if she gave birth.
