Joe: Don't you have homework to do? Danae: I am, daddy. This is pre-homework exercise. Joe: Um...what?

As for Miniature Horses, they were mostly bred out of Shetland Ponies smaller and smaller. Dwarfism being a bit of a problem with less knowledgeable breeders and sometimes knowledgeable ones trying to get even smaller āhorses.ā People can be silly and often cruel when it comes to fads and getting a particular look.
