Thumbelina, a 17 inch tall mare, has been recognised as the world’s smallest horse by the Guinness Book of Records.
Thumbelina survives on a cup of grain and a handful of hay, served twice-a-day.

Harry Hill has a new book out, about an even tinier horse. See him reading from ‘Tim the Tiny Horse’ here

A stuffed Sponge Bob in a vending machine’s bin caught Robert’s eye. He tried without success to fish it out with a plastic crane.

“I told him I could get it for him,” his grandmother said. “He’s a character. He said, ‘Oh no, I can get it.’”

When she turned her back to get another dollar for a second try, Robert took off his coat and squeezed through an opening in the machine.
Store employees couldn’t find a key to the machine, so Robert waited while the Antigo Fire Department was called.

“He was having a ball in there, hugging all the stuffed animals,” Bierdemann said. “He was so good-natured, but I was shaking like a leaf.”

Firefighters broke one lock but then spotted two latches inside the plastic cube. They passed a screwdriver to Robert.

“He stacked up all the stuffed animals and used that screwdriver to open the latch,” his grandmother said. “You should have seen him go.”
