History

The Nederlandse Mini Paarden Registratie Stamboek, the stud-book for the Dutch Miniature, was begun in 1993. At first it registered horses in two sections, one for miniature horses no taller than 86 cm, and another for small horses standing up to 106 cm. The upper section was later divided into two, "small" for horses standing 87–95 cm and "large" for those 96–106 cm.

According to the association, the stud-book listed over 34000 horses in 2023. The population reported to DAD-IS for 2022 was 4500; this figure included 2078 breeding mares and 1891 stallions. The conservation status of the breed was listed as "at risk/endangered".
