We have several of the under 28's - our 30" Duffy son consistently downsizes, and has produced some really nice small horses.

The two sorrel fillies are both about 28"

Red Hot N Royal is about 27" now as a 2 year old (sorry about the large fuzzy photo, copied from a proof we bought before the picture got here).

I have a 28" yearling bay colt by the same sire - out of a 33" mare - who will probably mature about 29". He is showing at World in 28" & Under, and is available.

Here is our 27" yearling that will stay in the 28" and under division. S Bar P's Heza Cut Above or T Bone is a dark buckskin with two blue eyes. His sire is Perlino pinto. He doesn't know he is a little guy either until I try to round pen him with the other show horses - then he realizes he has to step it up to keep with them!

Here is my guy. He is 27.25" bay/blue roan Desert Golds Dust Devil is 8 yrs old this year. He was shown locally as a youngster and did very well. Unfortunately, my health got in the way of showing but hope to get back in the ring soon Both of Devils grandsires are National Grand Champion Senior Stallions Devil is for sale to a good home for a reasonable price.

This picture was taken as a 3 yr old. He has matured since then.

LOVE all your little guys and girls!!! I am just falling more and more for the small mini's, and WOW I just love the looooooong tail on Tornado!!

Sure wish I had enough money to purchase little Cowboy, a small 25" is just awesome!! =)

 

[Frizzle's Gal]

Do horses this small do as good in the ring as the big guys?

Here is our tiny 26" (on his tall day!) Shadow Lake Squiter at the Equine Affair last fall. That is my daughter giving a presentation to a crowd

Squiter is 4 years old and expecting his first baby next year!

While I've seen some really awesome under 30" Minis kick butt in the showring.....

As a general rule, no, they don't do as well as the taller, leggier Minis. :no: Sure doesn't stop me from loving (and preferring) the little ones tho!

I love them small and try to keep mine under 30"

Here's a picture of Pistol....taking a jump

Here is my Rocky......not the prettiest horse but sure is my sweetie

This is a stallion I sold that was 27 3/4

WOW I love the sabino effect on that little stallion in the last photo, it looks like someone took their hand and smeared his white in all sorts of directions! Just beautiful =)

mountain_waif - I like how you describe owning a mini as just a PET and not NEEDING to show, or breed to get the full enjoyment out of him =) I love to show, but I know I wont be showing forever...i'm not a competitive shower, don't really want to go to nationals or anything like that...I just like being at a show, showing off my mini =) Someday i'll be back...lol!
