Meet the world's smallest horse-to-be
A miniature horse born in America looks set to be world's smallest horse.
The one-week-old youngster stands at a tiny 14 inches (35.6cm) tall which is seven inches shorter than the average miniature foal.
Named Einstein, the pint-sized pony weighs just six pounds (2.7kg) which is the same weight as a human newborn.
More likely to fit into horse tack made for model horses than for normal sized horses, Einstein's owners won't know if their little pony will take the Guinness World Record title until he is fully grown.
The current record holder Thumbelina, who has her very own website, stands at 17.5 inches (44.5cm) and weighed in at a comparatively hefty 8.5lb (3.9kg) when she was born in 2000.
Unlike Thumbelina who is officially a dwarf rather than a smaller version of a healthy horse, Einstein is well proportioned and simply looks like a miniature version of a standard sized horse – we like to call him ‘The Bonsai horse’.
