If you've never seen these totally adorable tiny horses, head over to Caldwell, Idaho for the Western Intermountain Classic Miniature Horse Show.

Bring the entire family for a free family outing that will have a little bit of everything for the young or old. This is a great opportunity for those who wonder what you can do with a miniature horse. What can you do? Take pictures and have some hands-on experience with the “World’s Smallest Horse’s”. 

There will be a free seminar on Saturday, June 18th from 10 - 11 a.m. where some of the horses will demonstrate the various different events that will be exhibited throughout the weekend and questions will be answered on all aspects of owning, caring, training and maintenance for the “American Miniature Horse”.  Other activities will also be going on throughout the day such as competitive shows, silent auctions, etc.  

 On Sunday, June 19th, there will be a show going on throughout the day starting at 8 a.m.  This two day Miniature Horse Event will have competitors entering in classes for the Youth (18 years and younger) and Adults. You will see youth, possibly as young as three years old, competing with retirees at this show. These Classes will include Halter, Jumping, Showmanship, and Driving Classes just to name a few.
