Miniature bred to over 15hh = Foal mature 14hh-15.3hh Miniature bred to Galloway (13.2hh - 14.3hh) = Foal mature 13hh and under OR 14.3hh Miniature bred to 13hh and under = Obviously, foal will mature 13hh or under Sometimes, though, the results will be different, depending on the genes of the horses bred, and the size. It would be extremely hard on a miniature mare to a carry a foal sired by a full sized stallion so it would have to be a miniature stallion with a full sized mare. Shetland ponies vary in size so it would really depend.

No, the miniature poodle is a pedigree breed that was bred from the standard. From each litter of standards, people took the smallest members and bred those together, and repeated this every generation. Because the larger members of the generation were not bred, it meant the genes for larger poodles were slowly bred out of the gene pool, making the average offspring's size smaller each generation.
