July 27, 2007: Tallest and smallest horse



The Mail does it again, great source of IotD...

The smallest horse in the world is Thumbelina; IotD catalogued her last year. Now the tallest horse, named Radar, has been pictured with the little one for a photo layout for the Guinness Book.

Quote:
Thumbelina, who weighs 4st 9lb (65 lbs), was born on a farm in St Louis, Missouri.

Her owners breed miniature horses but Thumbelina is a further quirk of nature - a miniature of a miniature.

She eats two cups of grain and a handful of hay each day.

Radar, at 6ft 71/2in from hoof to shoulder, is from Mount Pleasant, Texas.

At 2,400lb, he has a giant appetite to match, putting away 20 gallons of water a day and 18lb of grain.

Wow! I know Radar wanted to do something more with his tattoo, but I think he went overboard - he looks like a horse now.

OK, next I want to see a Monkey on Thumbelina on a Goat on a Platform on Radar. Oh, and just what does Billy-Bob Barty think he's gonna do if Radar wants to wander off?

The little kid there surprises me the most. One twist of the head and he will go flying.

Regardless of whether it is a kid, midget, or a full grown adult, who ever is holding those reins could go in on twist of the head. That horse is huge.

The Cellar will never be satisfied until the Worlds Tallest Man mounts Radar (*ahem*) and the Worlds Smallest Man rides Thumbelina.

I don't know, I think it would be 30 lbs even after an enema.
