OMG, cute5000! This is Einstein, a pinto stallion born on April 22nd at a farm in New Hampshire, United States. The little horse weighs in at a pithy 2.7 kg and stands 35.5 cm tall.
According to the records, Thumbelina, the current world record holder is classed as a dwarf horse. Einstein by contrast, doesn’t suffer any form of dwarfism – he’s just a really really small version of an ordinary horse. Judy Smith, owner of the aptly-title Tiz A Miniature Horse Farm where Einstein was born has never seen anything this small in the 20 years she has been raising miniature horses. She also says he was so small when he was born that she thought he was dead.
“At first he didn’t move very much. We started rubbing him with a towel and he started to move around.”
Check out a video of Einstein below.
An application has been sent to the Guinness Book of World Records to see if Einstein could qualify as the world’s smallest horse. Read the full news article on the Examiner.

Oh what a cute little guy – maybe we should’ve got one of those rather than two insane canines? Got home at lunch to find Princess Pun Pun and Mimez had gotten hold of my 8-hour cream, chewed open the tube and smeared it all over our sheets. Also there is another HUGE hole in the garden bed. *SIGH* Little darlings.
Brats! I’d be totally enraged if they weren’t so gosh-darn cute. Also, it’s your stuff, not mine :-P
Yeah but it’s our sheets that are now all silky soft and moisturised by Elizabeth Arden and our bed that will have to be re-made when we get home. Ha!
Why do women go: “Awe… so cute…” all the time?
Some manly men say that all the time ;-)

why… why would anyone make a career out of breeding miniature horses? i haven’t seen any mini burgers on Spur’s menu ;)
now if Judy got into breeding dogs that produced miniature :poop: i’d be a loyal customer.
although a miniature cow would be something awesome too. got fresh milk?
