Presenting Miss Princess and Miss Precious artistic Miniature Horse sisters

Miss Princess and Miss Precious are very unique special girls. Traveling and sharing their many talents including painting pictures, playing instruments and much more help them share their unconditional LOVE with everyone. I have found that there are many who have no knowledge of the miniature horse history so I continue sharing the stories so they will go on. A well known but not often told story about in 1913 there were over 70,000 miniature horses underground in Wales England and Britain's mines except they called them Pit Ponies. Interestingly enough some of the American Miniature Horses today are descended from the bloodlines of these Pit Ponies. The Pit Ponies used to live underground in stables and work for 2 to 3 years at a time and usually weighed about 200 to 300 pounds and could pull about 10 times their weight. It is believed that the one of last Pit Ponies passed away in 1999.
