Miniature Horse

Scientific Name: Equus caballus

DID YOU KNOW?

• Miniature horses are bred to resemble full-sized horses, just on a smaller scale.
• They are strong, intelligent, and social animals.
• Despite their size, they have the same behaviours and needs as larger horses.

EVERY SPECIES COUNT

All horse breeds share ancestry with wild horse species that once roamed vast landscapes. Protecting grassland habitats helps ensure space for both wild and domestic equines worldwide. At Emirates Park Zoo, miniature horses help visitors learn about animal care, behaviour, and responsibility.
