Mini Horse


A horse that weighs just 22 kilos and stands 63 cm tall is a serious bid for a Guinness World Record.
The little horse called Sandy was born at a farm in Yekaterinburg, Russia, three month ago and has not gained a single pound of weight since, Life.ru writes.
“She is not just small, she is super-small!” the horse’s owner Elena Alexeyeva says.
“In three months she hasn’t grown a gram heavier. Zoologists say she will always remain a mini-horse.”
Sandy has a great appetite and veterinarians pronounce her to be in good health, albeit extremely small.
According to the Guinness Book of Records, the world’s smallest horse, Thumbellina, is 43 cm high and weighs 27 kilos. Sandy is taller, but significantly slighter.
My garage calves are now out at the farm.
I'd like a couple of these little horsies, though, to take their place.
Where do I sign up?
