Smallest Horse in the world
Standing just 17 inches tall, Thumbelina has just been officially recognised as the world’s smallest horse. She received the title from the Guinness Book of Records after her astonished owners realised she was never going to grow any bigger when she is five year old.
These popular show horses usually weigh about 250lb and reach a height of 34 inches when they are fully grown. But when Thumbelina was born, it was immediately clear she would never grow to this size. At birth she weighed 8lb – the weight of many new-born babies – and eventually she grew to a mere 60lb. Thumbelina’s extraordinary size has been put down to dwarfism, which makes her a miniature of a miniature.
