Her back is roached , her eyes are large for her head and her barrel is large. Combined with the extremely small size these are all signs of dwarfism. It's a common disorder carried by at least 50% of the mini horse population.
@VirtualPwnies Not to mention Einstein was born 14 inches tall which is definitely smaller than this one but both feature signs of dwarfism though nobody mentions it about einstein.
@Jerokhna Exactly. Einstein being paraded around as normal alters what people recognize as signs of dwarfism. He's a dwarf. "Smallest Stallion" explained!
@VirtualPwnies She moves too well to be a dwarf. She should meet Einstein. I have a toy poodle that is 6 inches tall and 8 1/2 inches long, when she was born she was less than 3 ounces. She weighed 1 lb until she was 6 months old, today she is 1 1/2 years old and weighs 3.7 lbs. She had a full battery of tests, ultrasounds, & genetic testing, she is not a dwarf.
Thank you to all that have made comments. Itsy is the love of my life.....she has not grown at all.....I just hope she continues to thrive and be healthy..
itsy and einstein would look cute together

@birchfieldd1 Movement has nothing to do with dwarfism. I've seen dwarfs tear up fields like they were nothing. Some move well, others don't.

This little one is an achondroplasic dwarf most likely. Sorry, but that isn't perfect conformation.
Thumbellina is the world's smallest horse at 17 inches currently.
