He was bred at the Darkhorse Stud but I bought him from the Shadel Miniature Horse Stud.

His name is Darkhorse Meastro, he's a 4 year old stallion, 40" black buckskin with spotted influence, registered with the Arab Horse Society and believed to be the smallest registered PBA in the UK.

Here is is with my arab gelding

His reg papers say he is black buckskin he is actually a dark chocolate colour although he is already fairly wooly as you can see.

He is being an absolute star! He had never been in a stable and by day three was asking to come in. He'd never been on a lorry before and after sniffing the carpet on my ramp walked straight in. He had his teeth done on Thursday and again was as good as gold

Arghhhhh you wouldn't ay that if you met him. He has supurb manners and not at all small person syndromie!

Being a stallion he doesn't even nip.

Then he's evil...AND clever...lulling you into a false sense of security...are you sure he's not a werepony?
I'd barbecue him to be on the safe side.

You really would not want to eat him right now, he's been wormed and deloused so can't be humanly consumed

How could you even think to eat him......

That's ok. I'm not human as many forumers will attest.
Pass the pony scratchings...

Honestly they are better than good. They adjust around the nose, the cheek and the head piece. The nose piece is fur lined so shouldn't rub. They are really light too, my other one was OK but very heavy in comparison to this one. Took him about 5 mins to suss that he had to wiggle his nose to get the grass!
 
PMSL, welcome to the world of minis, long days clipping and lots of peeps saying ahhhh!!

Inky got me hooked, I now have two....I bet you dont stop at one!!!!

He is beautiful!
 
I have just started a post on them. I really struggle to come to terms with the fact that they can only do good. I know in the back of my head i should get them one but something stops me.... Just wondered what they were like and if they know what to do with them...i.e how to eat and drink!!! i'd be worried that whilst i was at work my ponios were starving in the field!!
 
They aren't like the Shire's one that has a hard plastic disc, these are purely webbing so very soft and flexible and Mo drinks in his cos I've seen him.
