Horses come in many colors and sizes. Miniature horses, called minis, are the smallest. They are less than half the size of a regular horse. A mini makes a perfect pet because of its size and temperament, and were once kept as pets for princes and princesses. Although they can’t be ridden like a normal horse, they will be sure to win your heart with their tiny stature and personality. Who knows, maybe a mini horse is the right pet for you! This title will allow students to determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative, connotative, and technical meanings.
