Answer
Hi Mikaela-
Thanks for the question. Yes, minis don't need much space but you will need to make sure he gets excercise, good hay and they really do better with another mini or other friend (maybe a little goat). Hope this helps. Best, Toni

P.S. Check with your county to see if the zoning allows horses.
