Proportional Dwarfism

In proportional dwarfism, the whole body of the horse is smaller, but still in proportion.

Disproportional Dwarfism – Teacup Dwarf Pony

In disproportional dwarfism, not all of the body parts are smaller, and this gives the horse an odd appearance.

Dental Care For Dwarf Ponies

Dwarf ponies commonly suffer from dental problems, caused by jaw abnormalities.

Farrier Care For Dwarf Ponies

Many dwarf ponies suffer from abnormal hooves, which are a result of skeletal abnormalities in the limb.
