My favorite NSV of all would have to be Riding

I do not have any mini's just three full size ones a Saddlebred, Haflinger, and my youngest one the Gypsy Cob. 

There is a difference in taking care of them and a mini.  You have to be careful with mini's and how much feed them or they can become obese very easily.  They are also more prone to founder which is an issue that develops in their hooves.

If I were to go out on a 3+ hour ride my thighs and butt would not be happy with me. But the more you ride the less they hurt.

I'm enjoying bike riding and playing ice hockey.
