A mini is an 'ickle make of car in the UK. Here's a piccy:

This is a shetland pony..

Officers find small pony in Mini
Police patrol officers who stopped a Mini Metro believed to have been involved in a road accident found a Shetland pony on the back seat.
Officers found the miniature pony after stopping the vehicle in the county during a routine patrol.

The incident was among details of traffic offences listed by Norfolk Police as part of a new road campaign.

The campaign aims to help educate drivers in an effort to reduce the number of accidents in the county.
From the BBC!!

We have minis here and I have seen smaller horses then that pony.
I have seen horses so small that you could fit about 10 in the same space as that pony *LOL*

I know what I'm thinking....

There's no back doors!! They must have persuaded the 'ickle 'orse over the front seats!!

Poor wee thing!
There's a shetland pony that comes to the show up the road that's so small you just want to take it home and let it lie on the hearth rug of an evening.

I think you could probably get 2 or 3 of those on the backseat of a mini, as long as they sat nice with their bums to the back of the seat.
