This little fellow was in a farm animal petting zoo exhibit at the county fair.
Sorry, it's from the camera phone again. While there is plenty of "belly" it is not disproportionately huge compared to his shoulder and rump. You can't see from the pic that he's got visible bone structure, without being skinny. He has a neck, rather than just a slope from body mass to head.
He may not be broke to ride or drive, never asked, but he has a job nonetheless. Friendly, content and well cared for... and certainly tolerant! Thousands of people petting, poking and screeching over the course of a week, and he never looked stressed or depressed, tired or anxious. The other animals on display seemed to be similarly well cared for and well suited for their ambassador jobs.
You simply cannot give me the excuse that your horse is FAT because it's a MINI! I also do not accept young, old, broodmare or draft for excuses. A healthy horse is a healthy weight.
