just because she is small doesn't mean she doesn't need a pasture as big as a normal horse would. its good that he travels and "brightens peoples day" and whatever, but i sure hope this isnt her entire life
If you have read anything on this horse, the owners breed miniatures, this horse happened to get the dwarf gene, and while she can get pregnant they don't want complications, and oh yeah, they think it would be cruel to breed horses with the dwarf gene. So please don't assume something based on a short news blurb on youtube.
I completely Agree with you BornAttacker , even if she was out in the wild , at her size imagine what damages can be cause towards her .. she cant defend herself like the other horses , just because of her size ; atleast this way we know shes safe , well fed , and she gets all the attention she needs .
omg people need to shutup about the pony being miserable, the pony gets plenty of attention and food, instead of being in a pasture and ignored like alot of animals get....you people dont understand how the kids feel either, rude!
While dwarfism does create health problems, the longest lived horse on record was a miniature horse affected by dwarfism, so those problems are clearly not a guarantee for a short life.
awe Thumbelina is just so adorable lol I have 2 horses and my mom saw this and now wants us to buy a mini pony.. haha I hope I get one,.. there so adorable!!
Wow!!! I want one!!! Nah, Mike, you take good care of your cool pet and sharing is always good karma!! I wouldn't be able to maintain an equs you are doing fine. Karma points in the millions for this cool kindness that is spread to those who really need a smile and to get out of their own heads for a smidge of time. Kudos, Mikey, Karma will reward those individuals who beget kindness and love for one's fellow man.;) You da bes', man!!!!! you will reap kindness for which you spread!!!!!;)
Thumbelina is one of the greatest little horses I have ever met!! She has a wonderful personality, I hope we get to see her again sometime:) Thanks Mike for doing such a special thing for all those kids!!
She's too small, misformed and badly behaved because the owner takes her everywhere and she hates the grabbing hands.

This is just awful, how man controls nature by creating these unnatural animals. Thumbelina has very stiff moves and malformed structure.

She has dwarfism. It came up by chance, just like in humans. She wasn't intentionally bred this way, and her owners are not going to breed her.

Thumbalina is so adorable. Poor pony though, shes probably under a lot of pressure being the world's smallest horse. We must take good care of her.
