It rained all day long yesterday, from dawn to dusk and into the night, so I had a chance to go through my photos of miniature horses in Woodstown, NJ, and I found some more to display here.

Today, on a drive through South Jersey, we stopped by a farm in Woodstown, NJ where miniature horses were grazing. The horses’ owner soon arrived with bales of hay and placed them near where I was standing so that the horses wouldn’t be too far for me to photograph.

The horses were the cutest ones I had ever seen, especially two newborn babies. These miniature horses are sometimes used as therapy animals, or they are shown at country fairs to let small children have a look at animals closer to their sizes than normal horses. The horses I saw were about 3 ft tall, as you can tell from the photo below as they stood near a pickup truck.
