World's Smallest Horse Born in New Hampshire

A diminutive horse born in New Hampshire could lay claim to the world record for lightweight foal.

Those proportions fit a human baby just about right but are downright tiny for horse, even a miniature breed like Einstein.

Breeders say that unlike the current record holder, Thumbelina, Einstein shows no signs of dwarfism. He's just a tiny horse.
