Joe: Don't you have homework to do? Danae: I am, daddy. This is pre-homework exercise. Joe: Um...what? Danae: Studies show that watching TV first relaxes the brain, which helps me retain more of the homework when I feel like doing it. Lucy: Studies show that parents weren't born yesterday.

Studies show that all studies, exept one, are produced by a person( or persons) with an agenda. Therefore the results of any study are biased and unreliable.
The one exception is the the study, made by a person (or persons) unnamed, that showed that the above is not at all true and is a load of poppycock.

As for Miniature Horses, they were mostly bred out of Shetland Ponies smaller and smaller. Dwarfism being a bit of a problem with less knowledgeable breeders and sometimes knowledgeable ones trying to get even smaller ‘horses.’ People can be silly and often cruel when it comes to fads and getting a particular look.
