The mini horse tells us that you don't necessarily need mutation to vastly change a species.
Uh, and exactly what do you think cause the small size other than a mutation? Actually it could be multiple mutations that all worked together to make an exceptionally small horse based on the parents or it could be a spontaneous germline mutation that occured with just this horse. Either way, the tiny horse does not have the same wild type genes as the big horse.
