BARNSTEAD, N.H.—A diminutive horse born in New Hampshire could lay claim to the world record for lightweight foal. The pinto stallion named Einstein weighed just 6 pounds and measured 14 inches tall when he was born Friday in Barnstead, N.H. Those proportions fit a human baby just about right but are downright tiny for horse, even a miniature breed like Einstein.

Dr. Rachel Wagner, Einstein's co-owner, says the Guinness Book of Records lists the smallest newborn horse as weighing in at 9 pounds.

Breeders say that unlike the current record holder, Thumbelina, Einstein shows no signs of dwarfism. He's just a tiny horse.

Now sez Awwwwwwwww! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Around here - a mare just gave birth to twins and everyone is OK!
They didn't know there were twins so when she gave birth to the foal, the owner went to her house to get a flashlight and came back to find a different looking foal. Twins!
Guess that is rare.
