Is this a Modern Shetland?

It says AMHR but i have never seen a mini that is...shall i say "Fancy"?. so i guess i'm confused.

This is D&S 21st Century Thomas, an ASPC/AMHR pony. Thomas only measures 33.5". He was shown as a modern shetland at one Congress, but was mainly campaigned as a AMHR mini.

Here is RFP Timed To Perfection. He moves "fancy" as well.

Bill Eperthner had a really nice one at last years Congress that is owned by Kay Marschell that was also a really "fancy" mover. There's not many of the "fancy" movers out, but they are becoming more frequent with more breeders bringing back more influence from the shetland ponies.

Dr. Taylor in Ohio, Larry Parnell or Murl Creel in Arkansas, Amy Roberts from RFP in Illinois, Dale Lutke of D&S in Michigan, me here in Illinois are all breeding miniatures with bigger movement. More like breeding ponies with movement that are small enough to be minis. There are a few other breeders, but these are just the one off the top of my head.
