Tiny, cute-overload horse is quite a project for the vet. Here’s hoping he survives and eventually has a long life in comfort after all his surgeries.

Was that a colt running around the show in the video?

My In-laws bred them for years, most of them are adorable and are fun to have but due to their size they have a few more problems than standard horses so you usually end up being on a first name basis with your vet after a while.

My wife's parents ended up losing about 1 in 7 mares or babies during breeding, my wife learned to stop getting attached to them and see it as a business because they would lose them so often.

If anyone wants an adorable little pet running around their pasture may I suggest miniature donkeys instead. Just as cute but far more intelligent, long lived, far fewer genetic quirks and they really become attached and are loyal to their owners.
