In the second video, the baby horse chases the camera and hides between its owners’ legs. Miniature horses are said to date back to the 1600s in Europe, where some were bred as pets for members of the nobility class, while others were sent to work in the coal mines, [according to](http://www.imh.org/exhibits/online/american-miniature-horse "undefined") the International Museum of the Horse, in Lexington, Kentucky. This little one just seems content to prance around, living its best mini horse life. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4001683/miniature-horse-chasing-people/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4001683/miniature-horse-chasing-people/"},"headline":"Watch This Baby Mini Horse Have the Time of Its Life Chasing People Around","datePublished":"2015-08-18T16:09:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:23:33.534Z","description":"Giddy up!","url":"https://time.com/4001683/miniature-horse-chasing-people/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
