I would also like to know the game limits on this.

I've been dabbling at getting my cobs down to under 13hh, but don't want them to turn into PomPom ponies (as I don't like the BC image) and still want them to be able to show if they are gelded / spayed.

I've had a quick look through the horse search but got bored looking through several pages of ponies to work it out.

I am not an expert, but have been playing around in the search.

The Miniature breeder's club states horses must be less than 9 hands tall to qualify. Searching for anything less than 9 hands I did find 1 horse that was heterozygous for height regulator:

I did not find any horses that did not have height regulator at all.
There are a little over 100 homozygous for height regulator.

There are over 1000 horses that are heterozygous for height regulator, but taller than 9 hands. So I am guessing those would not qualify for the club.

Based on the above findings, I would say you have a slim chance of getting a qualified horse with heterozygous height regulator, but would have better chances shooting for homozygous height regulator. My guess is that breeding small and having height regulator play together to produce smaller than 9 hands.

Thanks @RamshornSportHorses.

Thant makes me feel better that my smaller ponies won't change to a new BC.

I also know I'm way off with my smallest being 12.3hh!

I asked on Discord, and 12 hands is the smallest possible without the gene.
