Where can I learn about training miniature horses?

Answer by  mtlady1943 (144)

If you don't have a background in training horses, find a trainer to send your miniature to. If you have a training background find a good book (search on Amazon), do an internet search, or Go to the American Miniature Horse Association website. Training for halter and driving is no different than training a standard sized horse

Training miniatures, or minis is just like training full sized horses. Anything that applies to a full sized horse can be applied to training a mini. Just remember, you need the correct equipment. Special halters, lead ropes, circingles longe ropes etc. are made specifically for minis. You must have the right equipment to train correctly.
