The Miniature Horse Corral was an early inexpensive Frontierland exhibit the ponies donkeys and miniature horses behind their rough-hewn wooden fences were meant for viewing and petting not for ridding. As the sign said in front: Miniature Horses the smallest in the world. This is a unique breed of miniature horses coming originally from the Shetland Islands. The mare Lilly Belle is 31 inches high
Here, visitors could get up close with ponies and donkeys too. Signs around the pens displayed facts about the various animals, and a limited number of visitors at a time were welcomed in to interact with them.
This attraction was never going to stand the test of time. The low-capacity, slow-moving set up meant not many visitors had the chance to interact with the animals. The heat and noise tired the animals, leaving them to hide in the shade and avoid visitors for much of the day. The corral closed for good in the summer of 1957.
