Good thing it wasn't born in Norway.

Why? He's a lightweight. It's nothing a set of snow shoes wouldn't solve. Just need a good whitesmith. wink.gif

Well, a neigh-sayer might claim that. But if the shoe fits. . . .

But despite this massive difference in size, it is feisty Thumbelina who rules the roost over the stallions and racehorses on her 150-acre farm.
She's the reigning queen of the paddock.

This pony has dwarfism which now gives it a horrible future of constant pain, hydrocephalus and should never, ever be bred from or even kept alive.  We have them  here in Shetland very rarely and they are always pts as it is the kindest thing and stop photos like this promoting a very sad miserable existence.

"Because her legs are proportionally smaller than her body and her head, she has to wear orthopaedic fittings to straighten them a lot of the time."  THAT IS HORRIBLE FOR A HORSE.

Sorry, but I feel really strongly about this photo.  That poor pony is in pain and the owners think it is sweet and have now promoted its existence to the press to get more support for this type of thing.  Some breeders think it should be encouraged.  I don't.
