Kevin & DaNelle have been looking for a miniature horse to 'mow' their backyard. They were concerned one might be too big to keep around the kids so when I saw this on Az Central I thought it might be just what they are looking for...I wonder if it is for sale...
notice the name of the town...coincidence???

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.
