I'll take some new updated pictures tomorrow, 1st picture was the day she was born June 29th and the other two pictures were taken July 29th at a month old.

Also measured her and she is 20 inches at almost 2 months old.

My most recent picture of her.

She appears to have nice long, well-proportioned legs, which rules out some forms of dwarfism, anyway. Her profile looks a lot straighter in that picture, too.

Because they are tiny versions of what are meant to be much bigger animals, minis seem to develop things like foot problems and teeth problems more than their larger counterparts - and that is true of otherwise normal, non-dwarf individuals, too. Hopefully, your little gal will grow up just fine, but knowing what to look for and how to deal with it if it happens can help you make sure that your minis lead long, healthy, happy lives.

Glad all is good with mama and baby. Your kid(s?) must be thrilled. I love little painted mini's- just adorable. Thanks for the photos and the education @Bunnylady. Certainly good info I feel just a tad smarter today for it.

Yes, my kids love her! And she's the sweetest most friendliest little horse! She's been turning black this past week like crazy and I'm thinking she's gonna stay black. She's a mousey light brown which I've been told most foals that are her color turn out to be black when they mature.

In years past, I spent a lot of time hanging out on the Marestare forum. I can't count the number of times that we explained to newbies that black foals are born gray, and genetically gray foals are born black. Silvers are, well, silvers; born to do their own thing and you can't be sure exactly what they will turn out like.

She was born grey. Let me find some more pictures.
