New Hampshire foal may be world’s tiniest
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 are tiny even for 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 Einstein shows no signs of dwarfism. He’s just a tiny horse.
