Thumbelina weighs a mere 58 pounds and is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. The dwarf miniature horse stands 17.5 inches tall, smaller than some dogs. Guinness says she's the world's smallest horse. She travels with her owners in a custom Coachmen motorhome where she gets the master bedroom.
Her owners display her at public appearances. Crowds show their appreciation by donating to a non-profit charity that helps teens with special needs or who have high at-risk backgrounds.
When she isn't traveling, the tiny horse lives in Missouri. Read more about the famous mini horse.

Thumbelina is obviously a dwarf miniature horse. I raised miniature horses and miniature donkeys and had a dwarf filly named Midge about the same size. I'm surprised Guinness has her in it since she is a genetic abnormality. But the dwarves have the gentlest spirits and dont ever tell them they are not 17 hands tall .... they just dont believe it LOL
