Question
hi,
 i was wondering if a paint miniature would sell for $1,850 would that be to much,but here is what it comes with......halter,lead,delivering the horse to you,coggins test,health papers,and not scared of tractors or anything with motors.And are really broke for riding and is it easier to have a miniature then a full size horse thank you .

Answer
That price seems reasonable.  A buyer may also take into consideration the mini's conformation, temperament with children, vets, farriers, and other horses.  What may be a challenge for you is finding a buyer in today's market.  Horses aren't at the top of the necessities list for many, (although they are always at the top of mine).

As for which is easier to care for, a standard size horse or a mini... Yes the mini doesn't eat as much as a standard size horse, the care is the same.  The costs to care and provide for each are nearly equal.
