For The Love Of The Animals

My little pony…Toy horses are usually pink and plastic and aimed at young girls.
But this little pony is 100 per cent natural and ready to make friends with anyone
her size  Born a few days ago at a stud in the southern state of Victoria , Australia,
the 15 in. miniature horse which is yet to be named, has already formed a bond
with Sam Leith, 12.

Going for a walk: Sam leads the way, followed by Bliss and her tiny new daughter
Silver dun tovero in colour, she was given a clean bill of health ? and should reach
24 in. when grown. The birth has generated such excitement in the community that
local people are entering a competition to give the horse a name.
Owner Lee Scown said she wanted a name that reflected the tiny, unique nature of the
horse. It’s the smallest horse I’ve ever had and she’s so gorgeous,’ Ms. Scown said.

The horse, currently only a little taller than this book, is expected to grow to about
24 inches. It’s amazing to see a horse so tiny, and she’s about the size of a week-old lamb.’
The horse is the smallest born at Riverdance and its arrival surprised even its breeder.
‘We got told the mare wasn’t due for another four weeks but on Sunday morning I walked  outside and called her, and out ran the little foal behind her.’
