I don't know, chris. She's awfully high maintenance for a blind person to keep.;)

Was she bred by the French as a special starter portion?
Or just for Tom Cruise?

Ohhh you are nasty!!





but friggen funny :D

Uh, and exactly what do you think cause the small size other than a mutation? Actually it could be multiple mutations that all worked together to make an exceptionally small horse based on the parents or it could be a spontaneous germline mutation that occured with just this horse. Either way, the tiny horse does not have the same wild type genes as the big horse.

Unless they used gene therapy, it's still a mutation. One that they artificially select for in order to propagate.

So, every feature of every living thing is a mutation.

She came from a miniature horse farm, but turned out to be little mare than half their other miniatures because of the dwarf gene appearing.
The dwarf gene may have been recessive for generations, but when it appeared the owners decided to stop that line by not breeding her. :cool:

Wait a minute, are people still allowed to talk like that?

Yes, but no one takes them seriously......except Homeland Security.:cool:

Hmm...I wonder if they could breed miniture cows? And how long would it take? For some reason my b/f wants a mini cow...and a guard dog bunny. I promised him that I would try.

Look into dexter cattle.

A guick google brought up this site that lists Miniature Cattle breeds.

From the web page:

"For sale miniature cattle
For pets, for pleasure, for fun"

The "pleasure" comment has me a little worried! :eek:
