About The AMR*

The AMR* 's goal is to record the history of Australian miniature & small equines. In addition AMR's aim is to provide registration services to enable all miniature/small horses and ponies to be registered including those previously not eligible for registration.

Membership categories are as follows:
Adult, Partnership, Family & Youth.
All memberships are renewable on or before the 1st of July each year.

The miniature horse and the miniature pony will be regarded by the AMR* as two distinct types. While both types are a maximum of 34” or 8.2hh, the miniature and small horses are measured at the base of the last hair of the mane, and the miniature and small ponies are measured at the highest point of the wither. The miniature horse standard of excellence calls for a scaled down version of a full size horse, while the miniature pony standard of excellence requires the true pony characteristics of the larger pony breeds.

Small horse A & B require the same attributes as the miniature horse.
Small pony A & B require the same pony characteristics as the miniature pony.

All miniature/small horses and ponies are eligible to be registered with the AMR*. The AMR* will register three distinct height categories of miniature horse and three distinct height categories of miniature pony.

Miniature Horse is open to horses not exceeding 34” or 8.2hh
Small Horse A is open to horses not exceeding 38” or 9.2hh
