Once again, the Daily Mail delivers. Please check out this miniscule pony molecule. “Koda” the mini horse was ALSO born a dwarf.
For realz:
Apparently, she’s so small, “Koda is so small that he is often mistaken for a battery-operated soft toy.”
More photos over at the Daily Mail.
*head explodes*
I yelled when I saw this. I am so glad that no one else is home.
What an elegant pose for the front right hoof; has this lil’ one already completed his/her Next Top Horsie modelling coursework??
Also: if he/she’s only a young’un, *HOW* does one explain the lush growth of “ponytails” & mane????
Are you kidding me?!?! The mohawk and the tummy pudge in the first picture are unbelievably adorable.
SO. CUTE. CAN’T. BREATHE.
So she was already a miniature horse but also happens to be a dwarf? So its the tiniest horse combination possible? Adorable.
I think this precious little nubbin has no idea he is so wee. I love how he’s enjoying his little pile ‘o hay in the first pic — sort of “mmmm snorf snorf snorf. Yes, Mr. Fancy Black Horse, you don’t get any and I dooooo!!! ” (singsong voice . . .) What a cutie. His owner has had to invest in medical treatment to make sure he is right-as-rain and ready for a lovely long healthy life. Happy life to you, little fellow!
I’ve never had an “OMGPON1ES!1!!!!!” type of moment before and I would just like to inform you all that said virginity has been happily forfeited this very instant. To say “I WANT ONE!!! x infiniti” would probably still be an understatement!!!
Recap: PRESHHHHHHHH TO THE MAX!
mmmmmmmm! (screaming with mouth shut) i want a poniscule!!
Big horsey says “Why I poop bigger than you!”
LMAO @ Theresa’s comment
LOL @ “poniscule”
MAI LITTIL PONIEEEEEEE!!
If it had a bubble-gum pink mane and some glittery stars, my brain would equal epic fail.
Lurve. Lurve at first sight. *sigh*
Could you even imagine how awesome it would be to have this little nubbin living in your house? The little clip cloppy hooves, the mini whinies? OMG!
Yeah, yeah yeah. Cute and all that but is his side ok? Was he shaved for surgery or something?
The eyes in the second pic, omg! Squeee!
OMG PON1ES!1!
There is VIDEO of Koda!!1!!eleventy-one!
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,25889328-2,00.html
He’s amazing. I just read the Daily Mail story. He’s a spunky little guy.
I want this little baby for a pet! Too adorable!
[You'd have to budget some significant veterinary expenses, but Koda does sound like a friendly little guy... - Ed.]
I……………………………………………………… WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT that pony!!!!!! (Throwing self on floor, kicking and screaming, having a temper tantrum like an angry toddler)
He’s so tiny,they haven’t even found a halter small enough to fit him! That looks like a FOAL-size halter on him, at its’ smallest fitting, and it’s still to big for him. What a brave little fellow he sounds like ine the article!!
omg. wait -where am i? what happened? good lord i think i passed out from the Qte!
@whuh…thank you for finding the video!What’s with all these hotties with adorable animals? Now I have to go to Angola AND Australia. I have a job, you know. And pets. And I am not made of time and/or money. Jeez.
Ooooh – a cute horsie.. and a hottie vet with a sexy accent?!?!? GAH!
At the end of the video the vet says “big day tomorrow, got Melbourne Cup”.
hehehehe
Tiny horsie even had his tail braided in preparation for the race.
And are those purple somethings in his mane?
So cute! I want I want I want.
Seriously I always wanted a horse but was never comfortable when riding one. Koda is the perfect solution!
My Little Pony, My Little Pony…
I comb and brush her hair.
My Little Pony, My Little Pony
Tie a ribbon to show how much I care
My Little Pony, My Little Pony…
I take her wherever I go.
My Little Pony, My Little Pony…
Oh I love her so.
I love you, My Little Pony *kiss*
that’s so awesome.
I like how the big horse is all, “Here I am, being majestic” and the little horse is all, “NOM!”
“Hush-a-bye, don’t you cry…
Go to sleepy little baby…
When you awake, we shall take…
All the pretty little horses…
Blacks and grays, dapples and bays…
A coach and six little horses.
So hush-a-bye, don’t you cry…
Go to sleepy little baby.” (Traditional)
*can’t believe her eyes*
I want a monkey in a cowboy hat on that horse, STAT.
oh my god. I want this so bad!
OMG.. the widdle bridle!
He totally looks like one of those big My Little Ponies stuffed pony dolls.
That first picture is about the cutest thing I’ve seen. The tummy!!! I love this little guy, he sits in the front seat of a car!!!
OMG!!!! I NEEDS!!!!
I want to see it in person! What a cute lil guy
Found this:

Tiniest dwarf mini horse! So precious.
Dwarfism on top of being a mini-breed is crazy!! But the results? ULTRA-redonk-cute.
Oh lordy, someone braided his tail…Can he get any cuter?
The horse is adorable, but the handsome Vet is even better!
Should stand the little gal next to a clydesdale or percheron work horse types.
That would be a real eye opener.
My husband couldn’t believe that it was real when he saw the 2nd photo heh
I really hope they get all of it’s medical things taken care of so the lil dude can live a nice long pampered life.
@Kar: Perhaps he is just shedding? I don’t know much about horses, but my dog tends to shed in chunks like that during the spring. Which I think it is, in Australia.
The video, THE VIDEO, PEOPLES!! That hot guy a few post back, with the monkey..He’s got serious compitish now! Koda’s vet is a real looker as well, and the teeny-tiny pony?! OMG..My brain had melted That horse is quite the champ, and so sweet. My heart just goes out to little sick animals, but still do the utmost to fight.
GO KODA!!!
Koda looks like a mini-version of the ponies drawn by Norman Thelwell:

@ Theresa: Verrrrry niiiiiiiiice connexxion/ graphic there !!!!
Squee! Where do you put the batteries in this little toy horse?!
@ puddlepeppers:
Another famous lullaby is “All the Pretty Little Horses” which many children simply know by the first three words of the lyrics: “Hush a bye”. It was originally sung by an African American slave who could not take care of her baby because she was too busy taking care of her master’s child. She would therefore sing this song to her master’s child (Lacy 1986, p. 76). Originally, the lyrics were “birds and butterflies, peck at his eyes” but were changed to “birds and butterflies, flutter ’round his eyes” to make the lullaby less violent for younger children. (Wikipedia)
=SSS
He’s a sweet little pony but that black lad in the background is pretty handsome too.
He looks like he could be from the movie Willow.
“Weeelowww! chaaange mee back, weelowww!”
Naaaw so cute<3
Hi ! . The name of the little horse is Koda?
Is so cute !
Is that vet single??
Okay, seriously, I am just about dead from the cuteness.
Awwww, what a DOLL!!! Soooo prosh. It’s sad to know he had health probs, but great to know he’s a fighter. Wish you a long and healthy life, lil’ guy!
I just want to say I love this blog, but I don’t see anything cute in this post. I see a poor dwarf mini who’s surprised vets by surviving as long as he has. But I guess I’d also find him cute if I didn’t know about the complications of his unfortunate condition. I just wish for the best, most comfortable life possible for him.
oh. my. god…
i don’t think i was designed to handel this level of cute…
i think i need a doctor now
If I had a miniature animal with dwarfism, I would name it “Redundant.”
P.S. to pebble: The lullaby pepperpuddles cites there IS “Pretty Little Horses.”
I can see why.
Awwww…it’s sad but cute. Hope that nice vet can make him more comfies, so he can enjoy his teeny tiny widdle adorable life.
35kg is 77lbs… not the TIIIIINIEST creature, but definitely the tiniest horsey!
Meg you GOTTA Eye-hance the little beast
He is such the littlest cutie ever !
Vet: *long winded explanation of Koda’s condition, health, etc*
Koda: Blink. Blink. Blink. Blink-blink.
” I wonder if the cameraman has shoelaces?”
Somewhere, Mr. Myron Reducto is having a smallgasm.
Please! We prefer to be called “Little Horses”
Dwarf. Midget. So “60′s”!!!
Possibly any cuter?? Me thinks no-ot!
awwww so cute
when i saw this it is so cute and sad but mostly CUTE!
My little pony, skinny and bony…
took a fart… and fell apart.
cute pony though…hahah lolz
[You & I grew up on different playgrounds, RJ. And yet, they were so alike... - Ed.]
i stared at this for like ten minutes thinking about what it would be like to own one, He is smaller than my dog!
This is the cutest thing i’ve seen. He is so adorable! I think i shall get one. He is very very cute though (:
