People do it, but I don't think it's a good idea. I've never owned one, but thought about getting one for future children.
Then my husband pointed out that no adult could ride a mini to break it adequately for a child. I wouldn't want a child small enough for a mini to ride a horse that couldn't be broken and thoroughly trained by an adult rider first.
I think a smaller pony (11 or 12 hands) would be a better way to go since a small adult can ride and train it quite safely.
