This horse - the smallest in the world. But her charm is not exactly occupy!

Who among us has not dreamed as a child of your own pony? Many ride once or twice on the old horse at a local amusement park or a circus, then long plagued parents' requests to purchase "their own horse." However, if that tender age we have at least one eye saw that the baby, all the other horses would be immediately forgotten. Tiny, the smallest horse in the world, is concentrated childhood dream! Since 2001 - and it was then that was born this pipsqueak! - It gallops in the heart of everyone who sees it. This dwarf horse is capable to bring a smile on the face of any child!

Thumbelina was born on May 1, 2001.



Her parents were miniature horses, but even compared to them it looks like the baby.



Now she lives on a farm in Missouri, USA, where she provided care and comfort.

Height of the baby - 43 cm, and it weighs just 26 kilograms!

Typically, these horses do not last long, but the case is unique Thumbelina. Her problems with mobility standard for the dwarfs, but minus that it is completely healthy and, like other horses will gladly accept from the visitors and the hosts as treats apples and carrots. I think it's safe to say that Thumbelina - a happy horse, because she lived a full life and surrounded by love! I experienced a bout of acute emotion of this story? Share it with a friend!
