I have the prettiest 5 year old Miniature Stallion! He is the sweetest thing. He is about 38 inches tall. Never offered to kick or bite. Can be a little skittish at first when catching him. My kids have rode him, but he needs lots of work to be a kids pony. (Not for beginners as far as riding goes) Very Green. He is calm and loves going on walks, be brushed and loved on! Make him a good pony for your little ones, use him for a stud or just a cute pasture pet
