Born ten days ago at a stud in the southern state of Victoria, Australia, the 15in miniature horse – which is yet to be named – has already formed a bond with Sam Leith, 12. Silver dun tovero in colour, she was given a clean bill of health – and should reach 24in when grown.The birth has generated such excitement in the community that local people are entering a competition to give the horse a name in time for Christmas.

Tight squeeze: The horse is so small it can fit underneath her mother

Owner Lee Scown said she wanted a name that reflected the tiny, unique nature of the horse.'It’s the smallest horse I’ve ever had and she’s so gorgeous,' Ms Scown said. 'It’s amazing to see a horse so tiny, and she’s about the size of a week-old lamb.'The horse is the smallest born at Riverdance and its arrival surprised even its breeder.'We got told the mare wasn't due for another four weeks but on Sunday morning I walked outside and called her, and out ran the little foal behind her.'

World's Smallest Mother is Having Her 3rd Baby

This is Stacey Herald, 35, who is just 2ft 4in tall and who suffers from Osteogenesis Imperfecta, a genetic bone disorder. This disorder provokes severe respiratory problems due to underdeveloped lungs. She has already two daughters with her husband Will who have outgrown their mother. The first girl has the same condition as her mother; the second one is completely healthy.

The third baby they are awaiting is a boy. The family is very thrilled.

Stacy is risking her life to have this baby as well as she did while she was pregnant with the girls. Doctors say that when the baby gets very large, it would eventually crush her organs, strangling her from the inside out. But Stacy and Will hope that the pregnancy will go smooth and 4 weeks from now they will have a beautiful baby boy.
