What types of pets have you had? And what would you like to have?

One kind of unusual pet that I would really love to have is a miniature horse ! They are small enough to carry around when they are foals, and the smallest ones only grow a little over two feet tall at the withers. Most are closer to three feet when they are full grown, and they have a very gentle and loving personality.
When I was younger, we lived out in the country, I had a horse and got ponies for the kids to ride, and we often would pack a lunch, and spend most of the day out riding together on the trails.
I really miss having a horse, but now I live in town and could not take care of a horse if I did have one. However, the little miniature horses can easily live in the back yard, and it would not be any harder to care for one of those than it would to have a large breed of dog.
You can even get tiny little carts for them to pull, and I have seen them at horse shows, enthusiastically pulling their little carriage around in the ring.
I doubt that I would ever have one; but it is something that I often think about doing.
