Im fine with leaving it out of this article as much as we can but its not distorting the facts  the truth is the ideal mini a least in AMHA rules IS supposed to look like a horse and not a pony Not many succeed but thats a different debate  I define respect as giving careful consideration to what those who are involved firsthand prefer doesnt mean we obey in lockstep but if reasonable its worthy of serious consideration  I agree with you on the mane hairs thing personally but it IS the standard of the largest mini association the AMHA and Ive judged these little buggers so I AM familiar with their rule book its true that they often have withers that are hard to find and on wiki that was a battle I lost with the mini people long ago
