I bought a tiny little horse online...sight unseen, two months ago. She was too little to leave her Mom and so...today, she finally arrived here at the ranch by horse transport...all the way from Arizona. I knew she was tiny, but I swear...when she stepped out of that trailer, it was just breathtaking. She's only 17" tall...and will probably only ever get to be about 22" tall at the most. She's not a dwarf, she's just tiny!! She's perfectly formed...without the twisted little legs that so many dwarf miniature horses have. The first picture shows my sister Nancy, my niece Shyann with Gidget...and Scooter...one of my English Springer Spaniels giving the little horse a lick on the head. The second photo shows Shyann and Gidget close up. Hahaha...it makes me laugh to look at them! Nancy's only about 5'2", but the horse is only as high as her knees!!
I have some Sebastopol geese that are only three months old and the geese are bigger than her!! Even our English Springer Spaniel dogs are bigger than she is.
I couldn't sleep last night because I was so excited about her arrival (like Christmas for this 56-year-old) and tonight I feel like I won't be able to sleep again. I have 8 little horses (besides Gidget) and two full grown horses...but tonight I feel like I finally got that pony that I always wanted as a little girl. Can't begin to explain what I'm feeling, but suffice it to say that if I could...I'd bring her in the house tonight...maybe let her sleep in the bed...LOL!
