Not to put too fine a point on it, your comment is horse$hit.
From the American Miniature Horse association website:
Q. How much do Miniature Horses weigh?
A. An average adult may weigh between 150-250 pounds
FAQs
From a prominent miniature horse breeder:
STATISTICAL INFORMATION
* Since we mainly focus on characteristics of the AMHA miniature horses, (most of our horses also are double registered with AMHR), the statistical information that we will give below most appropriately fits with horses that will more than likely mature at 34 inches or less.
* Foals are born weighing anywhere from 12 to 25 pounds depending on their size. They can stand anywhere from 15 to 22 inches tall at birth.
* Miniature horses grow to approximately 90 % of their adult height by the time that they are a year old.
* Depending on their size adult miniature horses can weigh anywhere from 150 to 350 pounds.

So there are MY REFERENCES, although I can give you a lot more if you’d like. You want to show your references (if any) to support your contention that AN ADULT miniature horse only weighs 70-100#?
