Thumbelina, the world’s smallest horse (and Bridlepath’s single most-viewed subject) began her tour of all 48 US continguous states on Friday, and will visit children’s hospitals, schools and summer camps. Michael Goessling, her owner and handler, said that the miniature horse, already a regular on US chatshows, will enchant children and raise money for good causes. Link

What a cute little thing.
How old is she?
Hi Holly,
She’ll be six this year.
My Easter Seals affiliate in Decatur, Illinois could sure use the appearance to boost our image in the twelve counties we serve. Our agribility services for disabled farmers and our children served here would be delighted to see Thumbalina. Can we schedule a visit on the tour? Anyone know how to contact the tour organizers?

Be nice if you could get her. 🙂
I think your mathematics are a little off when you compare her to the world’s largest horse. It should be 4.5 times as tall – not 40.
Perhaps they meant weight, not height?

I have one, a stallion 4 years old he was 16 inches at a week old and was wondering, “what was her birth height?” We have not advertized him because we worried about someone stealling him.
I would love to see her.
She is so adorable.
What schools will she be visiting?
[…] will be touring the US to raise money for charity. She’s about the size of a shetland sheepdog.https://bridlepath.wordpress.com/2007/03/18/thumbelina-on-tour/Dog Owner&39s Guide Profile: The Shetland SheepdogThe temptation exists to label the lovely shetland […]
