In last week’s online poll, TheHorse.com asked if you own or have owned a Miniature Horse. More than 700 readers responded and we’ve tallied the results.

Throughout the week, the results remained close and in the end, the difference between "yes" and "no" was less than 10 votes.

  • "Not the breed for me
