I saw that pic on the website.

Ach, she's resting comfortably, in a manner which only a tiny, tiny horse can do.

At the petting zoo at the Fayette County Free Fair, there was, for years, Ziggy the Five-Legged Horse. It was a miniature pony with a normal-sized horse's endowment.

No sad little horsies in my world. No. She is fat and fluffy and is lavished with friendly pets. Yes.
