Abandoned & Disabled Miniature Horse Now Lives Indoors With 3 Dog Best Friends

When Faith Smith found out that six-week-old Peabody the miniature horse, may be deaf, blind, and unable to walk, she wasn’t swayed. When she was told that a veterinarian had advised his first family to euthanize him, she still didn’t change her mind. Meet Peabody, a six-week-old miniature horse who was abandoned by his mother because he was too small.



"Peabody is the smallest horse in the world at his age," shares Faith. In order to be classified as a "miniature horse," they must be less than 34 inches (three feet) tall. He has grown a little since his rescue, but Peabody's mom isn't sure whether or not he will get much bigger. When Peabody was first welcomed into their home, his jaw was misaligned. Since then, his head has grown a bit, and his jaw is no longer out of alignment. He has also learned to walk. With the help of some special shoes and training with his new mom, Peabody can now walk, run, and even play.
