Successful dude ranches strive to do four important things. .          
1:  Give you an opportunity to pretend you can ride.  
2:  Show you how you should be riding.  
3:  Provide entertainment until you are able to ride again.  
4: Fatten you up until you can't possibly ride.

there your horses are, ready to rear up and go like Trigger on the loose. 
Hi Yo Silver, AWAY! And off you go down wilderness trails. "Look out for
 that branch Little Beaver." Rin Tin Tin is pounding the trail right beside you, 
able to leap from tall boulders in a single bound.

Any time you mention a word or phrase and people say, "Oh, I want One!" or words to that effect, you have the subject for a story or article that will put your name on the map. Miniature horses is a phrase that wrings forth that response.
