Our Miniature horse, Winston, likes to please us all the time, including in the winter when he likes to pull us for a ride. Winston is my wife Lyne’s horse. She has had horses throughout her adult life and likes a multi-discipline horse that will do dressage, tricks, jump, go for long free-walks in the morning, and also pull a little sleigh in the winter. Winston does all that with willingness and is always happy to work with her and his coach.

We bought Winston when he was seven years old and very green. His previous owners are very nice people but were unable to take care of him anymore. The driver in the sleigh is his coach, also named Lyne, and she specializes in working with Miniature horses and ponies. My wife has mobility issues, so Winston’s coach plays a big role in what he learns.

Winston is deeply loved by both Lyne and his previous owners. He is a lucky Mini with a good life.
