A horse isn’t just a horse of course of course. Especially when you’re talking about the world’s smallest horse.

Weighing in at fifty-seven pounds, Thumbelina is the world’s smallest horse – not just alive but ever recorded. And surprisingly Thumbelina is not completely worthless. Thumbelina loves to visit sick children.

Her handler explains, “She has a way of seeking out kids who are suffering in some way.” She must – once she completes her national tour she will have visited sick children in all 48 continental states.
