Please correct me if im wrong but arent Shetland horses naturally small?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Small relative to full size horses, but they're still over 3ft tall. Horses like in the picture are most likely bred to have dwarfism.

It's like saying miniature pigs are small. Yes, compared to their 800lb cousins, but they still get to about 160lb (which is a very large animal).
