While most people have dogs as pets, Ken and Joyce Diehls have miniature horses. The couple owns 17 miniature horses, and is one of the few breeders in Janesville, Wisconsin, that people reach out to when looking for miniature horse pets. Ken and Joyce Diehls owned their first mare back in 1983.

According to the Diehls, miniature horses have a wide array of talents. Miniature horses can serve as guide animals, are able to pull carts and buggies, participate in contests and competitions, and most importantly, serve as service animals. They also have longer life spans and need less food and space than regular horses.

Joyce Diehl said, “Most of all, they make a dear friend.”
