From a prominent miniature horse breeder:

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#?
My reference (which is in my last post) is from the ADA.gov website. I quoted the pertinent part (seen in italics). And, again, here is the site:
https://www.ada.gov/service_animals_2010.htm
I will confess I don't know if the ADA is referencing a smaller breed of "miniature" horses than the sites you referenced. That said, I was referencing federal law/federal opinion, and it is the feds who wrote the law.
Edit: I did a bit more research and found indeed therapy and service horses are on the smaller end of the miniature horse spectrum generally 28" or smaller. An example of the live stock for therapy use comes from

Now, is the horse in the video in fact a service animal as defined by the ADA? Who knows?
