April 30, 2010: Einstein

xoxoxoBruce · 04-29-2010, 10:47 PM

You’ve probably seen pictures of Einstein, who will likely be declared the world’s smallest horse.
Born last Friday, at the Barnstead, New Hampshire's Tiz Miniature Horse Farm, he was just 6 lbs, and 14 inches high.

Quote:

Dr Rachel Wagner, Einstein's co-owner, claims the Guinness Book of Records lists the smallest newborn horse as weighing just 9lbs. Breeders say that unlike the current record holder, Thumbelina, Einstein shows no signs of dwarfism - he is just a tiny horse.

I suppose we should wait till he puts on a little meat, but if we wait till he claims the record, he might be too expensive.

You'll be bidding against Alpo.

Shweet! He'd fit in a standard 12Qt pot.

Ha! Well played.
I don't quite get the point of breeding them, these tiny horses are truly hideous.

They breed them because they can.

Why climb a mountain? Why eat an enormous novelty burger? Why do anything? Because you CAN.

Just like that dude who gives the finger to every cop he sees - he does it because he can.

NO, NO, NO... Time honored adages such as "Hung Like A Horse" are without ambiguity, everyone knows what it means.
Now mother nature squeezes Einstein out of her loins and adds a layer of confusion.

There, I fixed it...

A comment from the link...

I have one that was 15" when he was born. He's grown to be a whopping 22". We'll all have to watch to see how tall Einstein will get. I take my "Lil Bill" in the back of my SUV all the time. No need for a trailor for these little guys. Congrats to the owners, they are pretty cool to have.

They make great horse d'oeuvres!

skysidhe · 04-30-2010, 09:55 AM

hehehe I would love to have one of those running around here.
Maybe I can get one and pass it off as a dog.

Shawnee123 · 04-30-2010, 10:03 AM

omg, can you imagine strapping a barbie doll to it and having it run around your neighborhood?

Yes Virginia, there is a Cowgirl Barbie!

Adak · 04-30-2010, 02:01 PM

So what we have here is a black and white rat terrier with a freakishly large head?

Having stupidly followed the link to Thumbellina (currently the smallest horse in the world), Einstein is an absolute beauty. Thumbellina is just *ugly*.

Dwarfism (like Thumbellina), is just *wrong*. She Looks like a pot-bellied pig, frankly.

Sundae · 04-30-2010, 02:22 PM

He looks like a pig.
Shame he won't taste like one.

Rditlkustoleit (wtf kinda name is that?

) you made me splutter all over my keyboard. Can I have a new one please?

Yeah, they said they wouldn't breed her, because she's so fucked up.
