I am not sure if this harness can be used for a single pony/mini pulling a forecart with shafts. The backband/saddle is very different than I'm used to. Please help me if you can.

He's got the best feet of the bunch. The farrier took his feet down to fresh sole & frog, & cut excess/collapsed bars

Flaxen chestnut/sorrel about 34" Good conformation mostly

Flaxen chestnut/sorrel about 34" He has the least problem with soundness although he is plagued with allergies that cause his breathing to be very loud. He's on medication for that and I'm trying to get him to lose weight by working him (lunging, giving rides to my children, & driving).

Flaxen chestnut/sorrel about 34" tall Sorry iPhone photo in bad light He's the soundest, sturdiest, quickest, and most "pony-like" to me. I'm working on getting him re familiarized with work: riding and driving

These are the 4 ponies/minis I handle & their pet Belgian. All are gelded & kept together in a large pasture with 24/7 access to a barn. Youngest is Little Bit, oldest is Kody. All have been trained for pleasure driving, but spend their time grazing & being loved by their owner. I'm...

Thanks for the responses. I read some of the stuff on the AMHR (it's Shetlands of 4 types & minis of 2 types) and I'm still a little confused. I guess my biggest question is why the numerous registries? It made sense when I believed the myth that ponies (generally) were short,sticky, & hairy...

I'm not terribly familiar with minis. Even though I'm in a position to handle 4 of them. Only 1 of the horses appears to my untrained eye to be most like the photos of your cuties here. However, they all share many characteristics I interpret as pony-like. Especially my favorite, SunDance. Their...
