The horse which was named Einstein by it’s owners was born at Barnstead, New Hampshire, North East of the United States on the Tiz A Miniature horse farm and was thought to have been dead when it was first born.

What makes Einstein different then the current World Record holder for the smallest horse in the world is that he is not a dwarf. He is as healthy as the other horses at the ranch it’s owners say except that Einstein is like the miniature version.

Thumbelina, who is the current World Record holder for the worlds smallest horse was officially classed as a dwarf horse weighed 8.5lb (3.8 kg), is currently 17.5-inch (44.5cm) tall and entered the Guinness Book of Records in 2006.

Since her recognition by the Guinness Book of Records, Thumbelina, has travelled over 27,000 miles (43.5 KM) in the U.S. visiting therapeutic riding centers, hospitals and special camps for disabled, troubled and ill children.

Einstein’s co-owners, Rachel Wagner and Charles Cantrell of Bellingham, Washington, hale the horse as a miracle and say that the miniature horse was also not premature and was actually born three days later then his due date.

Rachel Wagner, the co-owner of Einstein said “Most of the ones that are really tiny are what we call dwarves and have some sort of dysmorphic features. This little guy is like all horses he’s almost all leg, he is very perfect looking little boy and not dwarfy looking at all.”
