Instructions
Ride your miniature if you weigh under 50 pounds. Anything over 50 pounds is too much weight for him to carry and could cause injury. If you weigh between 35 and 50 pounds do not jump onto his back, or ride him any faster than a trot.
Take your miniature horse with you, on lead, when you go jogging. Running gives your horse the exercise it needs, and it's also fun.
Go for a bike ride and take your horse with you. Keep the horse on a lead that is long enough for him to run without getting tangled in your bike.
Set up jumps that are between 18-inches and 2-feet tall. Run with your miniature horse and jump over the obstacles yourself. Your horse won't be able to resist joining in. Miniature horses love jumping.
Hook a cart up to the horse and let her pull it while you walk alongside her. After she has gotten used to the cart, let her help you to carry groceries to the house or carry things around the yard while you do yard work.
