The Thumbelina is a type of horse and its height is 17.5 inches high. It weighs 57 lbs. The Thumbelina is a miniature horse.
Designating a miniature horse as a miniature horse is determined by the height of the animal. The height of miniature horses are usually less than 34-38 inches measured at the last hairs at the base of the horses mane. This differs from a standard horse which is measured to the highest point of the withers.
Miniature horses were never bred for riding and should not be ridden by anyone. The smallest ride-able equine is the Shetland pony.
The world's smallest horse, Thumbelina, weighs roughly 26kg. Other miniature horses can weigh between 80kg and 102kg

A miniatuurpaard is a miniature horse .. like a pony or those drarf horses. Miniatuur = miniature Paard = horse. :)
Miniature horses require the same amount of food regardless of sex, unless a mare is pregnant. Mini's should be fed at 1.5 to 1.75% of their body weight daily. So for a miniature that is 200 pounds that's 3-3.5 pounds of feed daily. To calculate the weight for feed weigh the horse or use a weight tape and then divide the weight as follows: weight divide by 100= ? x 1.5 or 1.75 = weight in feed. (Example 200 / 100= 2x 1.5 or 1.75 = 3-3.5 pounds.)
The Falabella. It's a very small miniature horse, not a pony. http://cowboyfrank.net/fortvalley/breeds/Falabella.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falabella_(horse)
How fast a horse, pony, or miniature eats depends completely on the individual. A paint horse will, of course, eat MORE than a miniature because it is bigger.
A mini donkey is called a Miniature Donkey, just as a mini horse is called a miniature horse.
Yes, but if the miniature is a mare, then no, the developing foal would kill her if she gave birth.
