Question
hi i am new to the mini business and i have just bought 2 awesome miniature horses and i was just wondering if you could actually make a good profit off of them( say if you have moderetly good bloodlines)

Answer
I don't know anyone who makes a big profit in the minis unless they have big bucks and promote them with big name trainers. I strictly breed mine for a tax write off and I have some very good bloodlines and do show the pinto circuit. The market right now is very poor but hopefully will get better in the future. I guess you do make a small profit as they cost so little to feed. I figure they cost me a couple hundred or so a year to feed so anything over that is gravy. Good luck. I thought I had answered this question already but showed pending so if I answered you already here you go again! Melissa
