Mini pony could get world record because of its size (video)

Pumuckel is just 50 centimeters tall and just like the legendary goblin, perhaps the smallest pony in the world keeps everyone around busy. And even if the Shetland is not necessarily considered a pet, it is allowed to do a lot at the horse farm in Breckerfeld in North Rhine-Westphalia that the other ponies are not allowed to do, as the owner Carola Weidemann describes in more detail: “Of course he has a bit of airs and graces. He is also allowed in the house for breakfast, which of course the other ponies are not allowed to do either. But Pumuckel is allowed to do that! Then we’ll have breakfast together and set off.” The reason for Pumuckel’s size is a congenital short stature. But that is exactly what makes it so charming. “Pumuckel as you think I can see – absolutely adorable. He’s such a heart pony, is that. You always want to do something with him. You always want to cuddle, stroke and caress him and just love him. It’s like that, such a love pony, is that. Such a cuddly pony, so small and just a scary friend.” Perhaps next year the owner will find out whether the small and cuddly four-legged friend is really the smallest pony in the world. Because then she applies again for an entry in the Guinness Book of Records. Actually, that should work out this year – but at three years old, Pumuckel is probably small enough for the Guinness Book, but simply too young.
