![]() With this newfound popularity, their numbers started to double up overnight as more and more people started to pay attention to them, increasing their demand not only for mining purposes but also for their aesthetic. They made their way into the United States around the late 1800s, where they quickly caught on yet again for mining purposes.Ī couple of decades later though they started to get recognized for their strange, look and before long they even had two registries made specifically for them, aka the American Miniature Horse association and the American Miniature Horse Registry. They were actually first used for labor in mines because of their small size, as they could easily walk in and out of the mines without causing any collapses inside. They quickly became popular because of their adorable look and of course, their small size. Miniature horses were actually first developed way back in the 1600s somewhere in Europe.
