Pipsqueak Paddocks Miniature Horse Haven Society BC Canada Rescue Surrender Adopt

Caring from the Classroom is a project inspired by Kathy Wright and her 2009/2010 grade 3/4 class. Mrs. Wright and her students took it upon themselves to raise funds for Pipsqueak Paddocks and educate themselves about Miniature Horses and being good animal stewards. Among other areas such as teamwork, research, writing, public speaking and art, they have incorporated math skills by graphing their fundraising progress. We are currently collecting all of their ideas to put on another page to help us inspire other teachers to formulate their own project. Mrs Wright's class had a visit from Glee, a success story and Pipsqueak Paddocks' first rescue case. Her adopted owner, Margaret, was happy to take her to the school so that the kids could meet her. Everybody had a blast! The kids also had the opportunity to name "Apple", who was the next Mini who came to us after they made their amazing donation of $400! Pipsqueak Paddocks would like to thank Kathy Wright for her vision and for understanding the importance of teaching children to care about the world around them and that they CAN make a difference!
Hi kids! My name is Mulligan and I am a Miniature Horse. I am a bit extra special because I have "dwarfism". That just means that I am really, really short and I have some issues. I have an underbite, which makes my smile pretty funny! I am a bit funny-shaped and my legs are kind of wobbly but I LOVE to run and I bet I would win if we had a race! If you have a question about Miniature Horses, please ask it below here and I'll be happy to answer it for you! (It can take up to a day to show up and for me to answer it... I do have other things to do... like eat... sleep in the sunshine... and bug the other Minis!)

Miniature Horses are a type of horse that are bred to look like a horse in miniature, not like a pony. They can only be up to 34" or 38", depending on the registry. Many Miniature Horses have Shetland ancestors. There are as many facts, legends and arguments about the history of the Miniature Horse as there are types of Miniature Horses. Go ahead and "Google it" for tons more info! Mulligan Steph Jul 31, 2010 @ 7:10 PM Hi again, What's the difference between Shetlands and minis? Thanks Mully!, Steph! Mulligan Pipsqueak Paddocks May 27, 2010 @ 9:52 AM Hey - guess what?! "Mini Golf for Mini Horses" is going to be held on Thursday, June 17th! This is at Giggle Ridge Adventure Golf in Cultus Lake, BC! Come on out and meet me and my buddies at Giggle Ridge, donate $5 or more per person and play a great round of Mini Golf! Mulligan Mulligan Pipsqueak Paddocks May 8, 2010 @ 9:49 PM Hi Steph! "Mini-Golf for Mini-Horses" is probably going to be on a Friday in June... I wish they would hurry up and make up their minds because I need to book the farrier and do something with my coat! They will make the announcement soon and it will be all over Facebook and the website so you won't miss it! Mulligan Steph May 8, 2010 @ 9:18 PM Hi Mully, I was wondering when Mini golf for Mini horses was? Mulligan Pipsqueak Paddocks May 6, 2010 @ 8:08 AM Hi Bec! Miniature Horses can live until they are 25 - 30 years old... and some live even longer than that! I just had my birthday at the end of April! I am 2 years old now! Mulligan Bec May 6, 2010 @ 8:04 AM Hi Mulligan! I hope that you are having a good day! How old does a Miniature Horse usually get? How old are you?
