The World's Smallest Horse?

Burleson Arabians is the proud owner of Black Beauty, the World's Smallest Horse as officially recognized by the Guinness Book of Records in 2001.

Black Beauty held her Guinness title until 2007 when Thumbelina measured-in, but it appears that both ponies are very, very small.

Black Beauty is listed in Guinness World Records as the  World's Smallest Horse from September 2001 until 2007.

Black Beauty was an astonishing dwarf miniature horse from birth.  At birth it was apparent that she was the world's smallest living horse and possibly the smallest horse in the world that ever lived. 

Black Beauty is exceptionally friendly and always knickers to say hello.  She also likes to come into the house and enjoys watching television (Westerns are her favorite) and sharing popcorn. She also enjoys sitting in your lap and being rubbed.

To qualify as the world's smallest horse, Guinness Book of Records required that she be inspected by a Vet and be carefully measured for height by independent witnesses to confirm her status as the world's smallest horse.

Black Beauty is a dwarf miniature horse and at age five years-old currently measures in 18.5 inches tall (at her withers) and she was the world's smallest horse from 2001 to 2007, and the smallest horse in recorded history according to the Guinness Book of Records.
