Interesting, I didn’t know that.

And little animals with bad attitudes are especially endearing. 🙂 Some of the minis are just gorgeous! And I’ve already picked out a name if I was to get one: Cherry Blossom and I’d call her Cherry and put daisies in her hair. I actually laid awake in bed last night, thinking of this. 🙂

**FloatyGimpy** - Meet my mini, [Peanut (foreground)](http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j127/StG61/Pets/PatientSuitors.jpg). He was courting Nakota every bit as diligently as Irish, but she’s apparently size-ist. [Peanut](http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j127/StG61/Pets/Peanut.jpg)

Can someone give me a link to Mandy?

Right, I knew someone had a mini but I couldn’t remember who it was. He’s cute 🙂

I’m just down the road from this farm: [http://www.enchantedacres.com/index2.html](http://www.enchantedacres.com/index2.html) I may have to go over and have a look at them.

She is looking pretty uncomfortable isn’t she. Keeps laying down, then getting back up, and pawing at the ground.

**PapSett** , I saw that show about 45 years ago and it looked _exactly_ the same! Amazing creatures (and great pics!).

Love, love, LOVE the first pic, so regal, and the 2nd one made me laugh.

They aren’t my _favorite_ breed… I’m a western kinda gal at heart… but I am a horse lover through and through. I see beauty in anything equine.

I did find it humorous last night… there were 2 of the Lippizan ‘stallions’ that were… um… missing something very important… 2 somethings that, shall we say, separates the stallions from the geldings… 😛
