Dr Rachel Wagner claims to own the world´s smallest horse that looks like he could fit inside a large boot. Einstein was born in Barnstead, New Hampshire at a small farm called Tiz Miniature Horse Farm. He is a black and white stallion and sizes up to only 14 inches and weighs only 6 pounds.
The Guinness World Records had held the world's smallest newborn horse Thumbelina at 9 pounds and with a height of 17 inches making three inches bigger than Einstein. Yet amazingly Einstein, according to professional breeders, has no signs of dwarfism unlike the current record holder, Thumbelina.
He is still just as adorable as ever. Though the world's smallest horse title is no longer fitting, he has still got to be one of the cutest horses you'll ever hope to see. But all that is history now that Einstein is born and since he´s not physically growth stunted, he might still grow to a normal sized horse with the proper nutrition.
Other small horses include Black Beauty, born in 1996, only 12 inches tall and weighed only 10 pounds (she was in the Guinness World Records in 2001) and Twinkie, who is a Seeing Eye horse and was incorporated as a character in Patricia Cornwell´s novel Isle of Dogs.
Another famous (and very small) horse was Bond Tiny Tim. He was born in 1970 and stood 19 inches tall. At the time he was the smallest horse to ever be recorded. Bond Tiny Tim was bred extensively and appears in many pedigrees of miniature horses. Many of his sires went on to be national champions such as Bond Miss Rie who won the Reserve National Grand Champion title in 1984 and her daughter Bond Little Lucy Rie who also won miniature horse championships.
People may wonder if these horses have any use other than winning titles and being cute and small. Many miniature horses are used as guide horses for blind people and those who aren't are usually given as pets and companions.
