Answer:
Your miniature will need a shelter. They grow thick winter coats in cold weather but must still have protection from heat, rain and soaking conditions as it can cause a variety of health problems. A three-sided shelter with a roof is a minimum requirement. If your mini is to be shut in his shelter, bedding is required. Shavings are the most popular bedding but alternatives such as shredded newspaper have been used. Large bags of shavings can be purchased at local farm stores that carry horse supplies, they can usually supply a commercially mixed feed as well. Horses naturally like to be outside and should ideally be kept 4 to an acre. Fencing varies from electric wire to wooden planking.
